Including the follow up of someone questioning “devout” and getting that quote in response.

If you don’t know the language then you shouldn’t be involved in the translation at all… The current process requires both the translators and the proof-readers to know the language.

As long as you can verify it is an accurate translation

Unless the process has changed in the last decade, article translations are a multi-step process, which includes translators and proof-readers. It’s easier to get volunteer proof-readers than volunteer translators. Adding AI for the translation step, but keeping the proof-reading step should be a great help.

But you could probably also have used Google translate and then just fine tune the output yourself. Anyone could have done that at any point in the last 10 years.

Have you ever used Google translate? Putting an entire Wikipedia article through it and then “fine tuning” it would be more work than translating it from scratch. Absolutely no comparison between Google translate and AI translations.

You just hook it up to a perfect efficiency engine.

I have aphantasia. I definitely cannot rotate a cube in my mind. I can with great effort and concentration kind of do what you describe, follow where individual edges and vertices would be in space relative to each other, but normally it would just be the idea in my head “there’s a cube and it’s rotating”.

My go to test for aphantasia goes like this:

• “Imagine a circle”
• “OK”
• “What color is it?”

People always answer with color and many times with a more detailed visual description, like texture, material, the surrounding scene, etc. I personally would very stumped by that question because when asked to imagine a circle, I just imagine the concept of a circle. It has no color, no texture, no substance.

I zoomed in to read what they’re saying on the bottom right and was disappointed.
