Hopefully not "powered by AI"
Translation is one of the more useful capabilities of AI, actually. It is far more likely to catch the nuance or slang than more literal translation software.
I know there’s a lot of blanket hate for AI, but this really is the perfect use case for it.
Fair enough. And yes, lots of hate here! But if AI is actually a solution for a real world problem, i can make an exception!
There loads of practical real world applications for machine learning, but it’s not what the big corpos tend to push because the usefulness is generally more niche. They want to sell you universal solutions to problems that don’t exist.
Don’t worry Apple is just paying a team of Indian linguists to listen to all your conversations and translate them in real time.
In all fairness, Apple using AI to transcribe podcasts has been a tremendous success. Like, making four or five mistakes across an hour of casual speech. And those mistakes are usually contextual blind spots (like writing “lift” when someone said “Lyft” the company.)
