Thanks for the great article Rachel. I think that for professional translators is now more important to get to the next level of machine translation – adaptive machine translation – i recommend a blog post by Kirti Vashee about it.

Thank you for this useful and balanced article, Rachel. It comes as a welcome contrast to all the hysteria we hear swirling ChatGPT and AI more generally these days. Is AI going to destroy the world? Who knows…? But in the interim, here are some practical ways in which it can help a working translator. (Thank you too for including the caveats about data security.)

Thank you so much for this summary about the tool and the tips, that is really useful! Now I am ready to try and use it, probably for terminology search and email drafting, at first, and maybe for researching scientific theories I come across in my translations. I had no idea it could be useful in our profession!

Great timing for this useful topic. Thank you. Here’s an idea I stole from Steve Bammel, a translator who has given talks on ways to use these language learning modules:
Prompt: Compile a bilingual list in English and Spanish of the most common terms in [this field].
