I personally tested this for hours and this AI assistant is amazing. For you non-coders this is a game changer. I built an entire match-3 game in minutes with this!

@British_Airways is the biggest shit show airline I've ever used, by far. All that can go wrong will: flight is delayed, can't check in online, can't change seats (even in business), food is terrible, we wait an hour to get a slot in its own terminal, then bags won't arrive....

'I feel a combination of optimism and relief that AI will make us better translators but not obsolete,' says @KatyDerbyshire at the close of 'Translators: Robots in Disguise'. Big thank you to Katy, Duncan Large @bcltuea and @lspecia for their talk on #AI and #LiteraryTranslation

[Lucia Specia @lspecia]

@delliott Thank you!

[Goethe-Institut London @GI_London1]

Does using #MachineTranslation reduce errors in literary #translation?
Expert @lspecia answered our questions about latest developments & current status of #AI in the field of translation! Check our website for a lot more on the topic: https://t.co/fpAwbaLGxi

@eltimster I had the opposite for a paper on multilingual models (English, Estonian, Romanian, Chinese, Sinhala & Nepalse): "As an empirical paper for QE, only using similar European languages are not so convincing. Studies on both similar & distant language pairs, are more convincing."
