AI translators are already as good at translating as people are

they'll be better in a couple years

?

where

i think its more rewarding to learn the language yourself

you'll learn the language's culture if you do

https://research.google.com/pubs/MachineTranslation.html

Its hard to find any smoking gun for you, but machine translation has been a subject of research pretty much since google started actively funding RND, and other institutions are as well. It'll happen before too long

Learning a language is valuable, and it makes you a better thinker, but not everyone can or will do it

call me a traditionalist but this gives me a bad feeling

why

instant translation means any idiot in the world can seamlessly communicate with any other idiot

as if we needed more idiots communicating with other idiots

the barriers in culture will begin to erode and we'll more easily transition into a globally minded species

jokes aside

learn arabic - understand the definition of peace

LUL

nice meme lulster

😛

hmm

i like the way things are now

stagnation is no better than death

i sort of want to keep japan, japan. the way it is now. not merged with other countries to contribute to a fully globalized world

which makes me a traditionalist

it makes you a xenophile

no, that would make me a xenophobe

if you were japanese it would

which I doubt you are

globalization hurts. a lot.

so youre telling me im not japanese?

only helps the very rich people

we cant know if youre japanese

I doubt it

anyways

yeah because its the internet

you cant know anything for sure

but that makes me a xenophobe

and i stand by my opinion

i wish people stopped the entire -phobia shit

they made up so many of those

as if those were mental disabilities
