That's assuming they're using one of the generic models like ChatGPT and not something custom they've created specifically to do this.

Edit: they are in fact using their own as per the article

I'm aware they're not using a generic model, but that's not much better. Current custom-made models still fuck up significantly more than humans, and in less predictable ways.

Even if their custom model is slightly incorrect 1% of the time, that's still a major problem in critical systems like those.

Which models are those?

It's good to see that they aren't just piping through GPT-whatever, but in my experience, the vast majority of people who tout AI, even at large corporations, generally have zero idea how it works. I'm still not convinced that this is a good idea.

I mostly use A.I. to translate. ChatGPT gets that done it gets it done pretty good, especially when you say “translate this mandarin text into English. I don’t care if it is somewhat inaccurate, just do it as best as you can.“
