RE: Bad Translations - AI or Deepl.com/Google Translate
It’s good that we’re talking about this; the issue needs to be kept alive, given that future generations will inherit what we leave behind. I think the desire to manipulate is as intrinsic to human nature as the desire to react and resist when we are being manipulated. What I’m noticing is this willingness to give in to what is devouring us.
Perhaps we’re still immature, and those who come after us will have a good laugh at the choices we’ve made; or perhaps we’ll simply vanish like those civilisations that were once so intelligent and innovative, yet whose decline we are still trying to fully understand today.
I can’t say whether it’s right or wrong. AI makes my work much easier. I’m referring to calculation and analysis: in these areas, it’s particularly useful when precision and speed matter. When it comes to creativity, however, it’s a disaster: stupid, repetitive and banal. The ideal tool for making the mediocre even more mediocre. But I’ll leave it at that.
Thank you for mentioning DeepL; I admit I wasn’t familiar with it, and I’ve always been misled by translation errors here on Steemit, where I most often need to translate using Google. But now I’ve downloaded DeepL, so things will be better.
I wonder if this will be the case now internet will be firbidden for children underneath a certain age, not to mention the lack of electricity and wifi for the common person in the nearest future.
Those older most like already yrained their btains and are able to think and hopefully, use wisely. This besides of the fact they most likely speak more than one language.
Your comment reminded me of something I read a while ago. It is interesting to note that some of the very people who have helped shape our digital world have been particularly cautious about their children’s exposure to technology. Steve Jobs restricted his children’s use of technology at home, and Bill Gates, too, set strict rules on screen time and smartphone use. Perhaps knowing a tool very well also means knowing when to keep a certain distance from it.
I found This article from The Independent
What strikes me most is that this article dates back to 2017. Almost ten years have passed. In the meantime, almost an entire generation has grown up. What were we waiting for? Confirmation of what we already suspected before we seriously asked ourselves whether teenagers should have unlimited access to tools designed to capture and hold their attention?
One of the most interesting questions today is how these new generations are developing their critical thinking skills whilst growing up immersed in these systems. Perhaps we should have asked ourselves this question much sooner.
Come to think of it, I remember that when I was a child, I was only allowed to watch television for no more than an hour a day. Of course, I would have liked to watch it for longer, but that was the rule. No ifs, ands or buts. 👋
This BOOMING vote is yours and well deserved!
