[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8938409, member: 22779"] Fascinating article I read the other day concerning AI translation. The gold standard for language translation is about 1 second per word. Actually, let me clarify that. When a human translator looks at a translation and then has to edit that translation, it works out to about 1 second per word. Machine translation ten years ago was about 7 seconds per word. It's now about 3. They figure it will be about 1 second per word by 2030. IOW, AI linguistic translation, one of the most difficult tasks that most humans cannot even master, will be on human level by the end of the decade.

Or, I was watching The Last Leg last weekend and they talked about how one of the jokes in the segment had been written by an AI and asked everyone, including the other comedians on the panel, if they could spot it. None could. They all thought a different joke was the one and it was written by a human. Granted, the AI joke did thud pretty hard because it didn't make a lot of sense, but, the point is, a hundred or so people and three comedians couldn't spot it.
