I wonder where the myth of ChatGPT being a translation tool comes from.



Because it is. It's an everything tool. It can literally do everything. Ask anyone.

Ask me, and I'll tell you it can really do just a few things (code for example). The rest only looks good at first glance.

But you are right, there is a wish and longing of that kind in human beings.

“That kind” used to be in children’s fiction, nowadays it is in corporate world. You could sell your fantasy as well if you had venture capital to pay for worldwide marketing and advertising and bribe millions and millions of website owners to convince everyone that “blue” is, in fact, “white”.

I checked my fridge yesterday, and yes, GPT popped out of my butter.
