Also generating subtitles for my mother’s foreign films I guess?
You mean mapping learned patterns (speech) to other patterns (words)? Yes, that’s actually what it’s really good at.
Of course, if those films invented completely new words, it would be out of its depth. Weird pronunciations may also produce weird text. It might get things wrong either way occasionally.
But if it’s within the boundaries of its training material, it’ll generally produce reasonable output, and in that context, the occasional aberration doesn’t matter as much (particularly if the human brain can compensate).
Just don’t ask it to generate anything where factuality matters.
You can tell how competent someone is at something by how good they think an LLM is at that thing.
Ai is pretty good at sucking proverbial and metaphorical dick.

It’s painfully just ok at most tasks. It’s a someone useful tool at a local level with small models doing extremely narrow tasks.
But anyone who thinks these giant models are remotely beyond just a glorified over priced hobby toy is… Questionably sane.
They are fun to play with in the same sorta way playing with explosives is.
