hope that glue is better then the duct tapes google use on translate.g.c
it is still hopeless, and much worse than the dictionary based, at gender/nums/dicleasions in general.
i sometimes use it just to not thing about the grammar in some languages, and most times I'm doing a surprised double take of something that would be completely inappropriate or offensive instead of my simple phrases.
Despite any shortcomings, Google Translate is still a technological marvel.
Modern translation apps and GPS are godsends that make travel a million times easier. And they're free! It blows my mind. Traveling would be so much more incredibly difficult without them.
Google Translate is still inferior to ChatGPT 3.5. I suspect this style of model is significantly more expensive to run and Google doesn't want to give it away for free. Really, the only problem with ChatGPT is that it refuses to translate things that go against its nanny programming, which can make it almost worse than useless in some real-life situations.
I tried ChatGPT 3.5 against Google Translate, translating English to Greek, my native language, and they perform almost the same. The text was difficult text of science fiction, fantasy stuff and the results were tolerable. Roughly 50% of the text had to be manually rewritten.
Maybe for more casual sentences and not so difficult text, they perform better, i haven't tried. Anyways, they are both better than nothing.
Performance does vary with languages. In italian GPT blows translate away. The UI is not as nice but at least you can get it to translate to multiple languages in one go.
