"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

With DeepL moving to AWS, I'll obviously stop using it and I am thus in search of a new translator solution.

I feel, however, as if most translators are jumping to AI and I do not trust the technology enough, so the question arises: are there any good AI-free translators left? I need both for PC and an Android app; searching on F Droid and Discover (KDE Plasma) brings some results, but I thought of asking you guys if you recommend something in particular.

Thank you very much and have a nice day :)

Hi! Thank you for your comment.

You are right in what you said; I should've phrased my question better. What I meant was that I didn't want the ChatGPT-like generative AI kind of thing that tends to hallucinate included in my translation solution of choice. I had just visited the Reverso website prior to writing this post and it was all like AI this, and AI that, and, frankly, it's gotten to the point where it is simply fatiguing to have those two letters shovelled up my throat permanently wherever I go.

So, yeah, I of course wouldn't mind my translator to keep using the kind of technology that makes translators function, but do despise the slop they are trying so hard for us to accept.

I have downloaded, but have not tried yet, Dialect on my computer, and am still looking for a solution for my phone.

Thanks again.
