|    Mild Shock to All    |
|    Farwell to Martin Kays Translator's Aman    |

      From: janburse@fastmail.fm              Hi,              Farwell to Martin Kays Translator's Amanuensis.       The old stance for end-user was:              "The goal of MT should not be the fully automatic       high quality translation (FAHQT) that can replace       human translators. Instead, MT should adopt less       ambitious goals, e.g. more cost-effective human-       machine interaction and aim at enhancement of       human translation productivity."              So we now have these spell checkers and grammer       checkes all over the place. But notwithstanding       the glimps of full MT translation in little              browser buttons that could change the language       a full website by automatically translating it.       Something more fundamental happens right now.              Through Generative AI, the copilot not only       is a critic or full translator, he becomes       your pair programmer.              Bye              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
