    where did I say

    Do you understand the meaning of the word “exaggeration”?


    To recap:

    I said: “LLM translations have all the same political and ethical issues as coding”

    And you replied “No they don’t”

    But then you went ahead writing paragraphs on their impact on the environment… which is THE ethical issue, regardless of the copyright issues or the potential benefits.

    luddite

    mmmmh suuuureee

      Yes, I said “no they don’t” because translation has the ethical implications of global inequality. Which, btw, climate change greatly exacerbates. I never said that LLMs don’t have environmental impacts if used for translation; I said they have additional ethical implications when used for machine translation. Which is true. I have my doubts that you are particularly concerned with tech ethics and global inequality given how flippant you have been about the real issue of exclusion of global majority populations just from things as simple as language choices.
