I’ve recently been trying to actually use Google’s AI conversational translation app that was released awhile back and has many updates and iterations since.
It’s completely unusable for real conversation. I’m actually in a situation where I could benefit from it and was excited to use it because I remember watching the demo and how natural it looked but was never able to actually try it myself.
Now having used it, I went back and watched their original demo and I’m 100% convinced all or part of it was faked. There is just no way this thing ever worked. If they can’t manage to make conversational live translation work (which is a lot more useful than drawing a picture of a duck) I have high doubts about this new AI.
Seems like the exact same situation to me. It’s insane to me how much nerve it must take to completely fake something like this.
