I so badly want translators to get to the point where I can seamlessly interact with people who I don't share a language with. A sm with an in-app text translator would be so cool. Tired of only talking to Brits, Americans, Canadians and Aussies. I want no one to be spared from my bad takes and shit posts!
That's actually a really good idea. And LLMs are excellent at machine translation, it's one of their underutilized killer apps. They're a little better at going to English than from English or between two non-English languages, just because so much of the corpus is English, but they're easily enough that it could be automated as a working solution.
