@grammargirl wouldn't rewriting the sentence to check your spelling or proofread your work avoid this question all together?

Jessie this morning while I was trying to have coffee on the balcony. Someone enjoys sunbathing and belly scratches. Jessie does, too. ðĪŠ #DogsOfMastodon #PDX #Portland #PNW #MorningCoffee

@grammargirl I would want to know more about the quality of these translations. Has AI improved the quality of machine translation to make it indescernable from human translation or interpretation?

@grammargirl as a former interpreter, I have mixed feelings and certainly biased skepticism of AI translation, but we are also flawed and make mistakes, so at the same time I am impressed with (jealous of?) how much AI has advanced the quality of its written outputs in English. I haven't spent much time looking into how good AI is in, say, Japanese or Tagalog, but I have read critiques that its quality is not as good in some languages because there isn't as much variety for it to learn from.

@grammargirl perhaps woth enough exposure to formats like your podcast or to linguists explaining foreign words in English, or vice versa, AI could learn to replicate that.

I'm not sure if she is giving me the stink eye or if she is just being preciously coy with her tail fanned over her nose and mouth like that. #dogsofmastodon

"Democracies are different from authoritarian governments because they have laws to prevent the corruption in which it appears Trump engaged. The fact that Republicans refuse to hold their own party members accountable to those laws while smearing their opponents says far more about them than it does about the nature of democracy. It does, though, highlight that our democracy is in danger."#HeatherCoxRichardson #LettersFromAnAmerican https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/january-4-2024
