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

   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
