If I understand how AI works (predictive models), kinda seems perfectly suited for translating text. Also exactly how I have been using it with Gemini, translate all the memes in ich_iel ๐Ÿคฃ. Unironically it works really well, and the only ones that aren't understandable are cultural not linguistic.

You just have to be careful with hallucination. That backtranslation step is needed. The more alien the language is to English, the more prone to hallucination it is.

Oh that's the best part, since it's memes honestly never know if it's even meant to be completely sensible. So even if it does hallucinate, just adds a bit of spice ๐ŸคŒ๐ŸคŒ

I also like the thought that probably billions was spent to make something that is best suited for deep frying memes
