Google translate was so good.
You could write "hola como eatas translate" and it would would be there, with pronunciation and everything. and a quick copy button.
now I get an AI explaining something I don't care about, rarely translates, and it's useless.
AI isn't just not adding anything of value, it is eating the things that actually had value.
Idk even before they did this I started using LLMs instead of Google Translate because it tended to be more accurate and could offer nuanced explanations instead of just one translation.
