The sequence-to-sequence model allows for translating sentences by consuming words one by one and generating translations word by word, which was a significant advancement in AI.

The biggest surprise for me is how well AI performs in legal work, which I initially thought would be too complex for it to handle effectively.

The AI field is approaching diminishing returns with large language models, as the amount of natural text data available for training is becoming limited, which may hinder future advancements.

Even the best human translators have limitations in the number of words they encounter, while translation systems can process vast amounts of data, which may lead to better performance over time.

English is becoming the new assembly language for large language models, meaning that effective communication with AI requires structuring language correctly, even if syntax is less critical than before.

Interpretability in AI is crucial for understanding how models operate at various levels, and I am optimistic about the ongoing work in this area, which is essential for mainstream AI adoption.

AI is effective for predictable tasks but struggles with unpredictable or cutting-edge programming challenges.

The model developed for Google Translate utilized a deep LSTM stack with an attention module, allowing it to track multiple states and focus on relevant input data during output generation.

Modern language models like Claude can handle translation between many languages, unlocking the global reach of AI products.
