Are people getting in trouble with ChatGPT translations?

-

 Here is what google AI has to say about this:

Yes, people are getting in trouble using ChatGPT for translations due to "hallucinations"—where the AI confidently fabricates information, misses context, or mistranslates technical/medical terms. These errors can lead to serious consequences in professional, legal, or medical contexts, often because the output reads fluently but is inaccurate. 

Common Ways People Get in Trouble:

  • Medical/Technical Errors: ChatGPT has mistranslated critical instructions (e.g., confusing "once a day" with "eleven"), which can endanger lives.
  • Fabricated Content: The model may insert words or facts that were not in the original text, or skip over complex sections.
  • Cultural/Idiomatic Misunderstandings: It struggles with slang, idioms, or low-resource languages, often providing misleading, literal translations.
  • Data Privacy Violations: Inputting proprietary or personal company information into public AI models can leak sensitive data, violating company policies or legal regulations.
  • Overconfidence: Users often mistake the fluency of the output for accuracy, failing to verify the results. 

How to Avoid Trouble:

  • Never use ChatGPT for high-stakes, legal, or medical translations without human, expert review.
  • Always treat AI output as a draft needing human post-editing (known as Machine Translation Post-Editing).
  • Be specific in your prompts, providing context and terminology to reduce errors.
  • Use professional tools

JUST HOW GOOD IS AI TRANSLATION?

-
  I have been exposed to machine translation from the very beginning, so in the 90s I had already tried computer software in a few language pairs. To tell you the truth, they were all very bad back then.   However, time flies when you are having fun, and it does the same when you are not. With time translation software has become better, I must admit. However, most AI translations still sound like AI text, devoid of style and life, incapable of understanding figures of speech, cynicism, irony, humor, nuances, and the proverbial text between the lines.   However, I knew that sooner or later it would be widely adopted as a tool, so in the last couple of decades I continued to study several software titles in myriad languages.   As it stands, AI produced translation still has a major problem: it reads context very poorly. That, in certain languages, can have disastrous consequences, for the same word can have different meanings in the same language, for inst...

Should you really build an Instagram audience?

Imagem
Internet presence is a necessity these days, if you want to evolve in your professional and personal life. Millions of people aspire to live a life of fame, luxury and little work by becoming influencers, trusting coaches and handlers galore that promise Instagram fortune to anyone, regardless of age, body type, beauty, speech issues, lack of intelligence, culture or talent, or offering no content with any redeeming social value. Although some people that do not fit the mold young-beautiful-woman who is willing to appear almost naked actually make it, one may say there is the inclusive narrative behind this. The powers that be (Mr. algo, Silicon Valley, celebs, coaches, PR people, the press) like to portray Instagram as a place anyone can become an instant success, so they make famous 90-year old ladies, dysfunctional folks, ugly people, unfunny comedians, untalented singers and actors, to give the semblance of a level playing field.  Do not be fooled. The people that make it are e...

Emilio Zambello

  Emilio Zambello foi o primeiro piloto que conheci na vida, e posso dizer sem exagero, parcialmente responsável pela minha paixão pelo automobilismo. Eis aqui a história. O ano era 1969. Naquela altura dos acontecimentos, já sabia um pouquinho sobre o mundo das corridas. Minha introdução tinha sido um álbum de figurinhas da Disney, que me apresentou a exóticos nomes como BRM, Brabham e Cooper. Naquele mesmo ano de 1969, sempre que minha humilde mesada permitia, comprava uma ou outra revista Auto Esporte. Portanto, já sabia o que era a Equipe Jolly. Uma bela noite, assistindo a TV, vi uma reportagem sobre a equipe. Uma (ou duas) das Alfas GTA tinham sido usadas numa cena de uma novela, e a reportagem foi feita, obviamente, como uma gentileza promocional. E daí veio a bomba - descobri que a garagem da equipe Jolly, ficava há pouco mais de um quarteirão da minha casa, na Rua Frederico Steidel. Enquanto minha mãe não me levou lá, não sosseguei. Já fui inclusive com o nome de E...
