12/6 Reading

This reading was interesting cuz it reminded me how fortunate we are to have services such as Google Maps and Google Translate. "Machine learning" technologies are fairly recent, but I cannot imagine what life would be like without them. I didn't know google translate translated 140 billion words per day. That's a lottttttt. It's interesting that Google translate first started due to the refugee crisis. I enjoyed how they showed the difference between the old translate system and AI-rendered version. "Uno no es lo que es por lo que escribe, sino por lo que ha leĆ­do." The AI translated it so well compared to the old translate system. I was not sure how I felt about the talk about Google Maps and having a machine know everything about trends, and how much ppl typically spend for children, etc. It seems kind of excessive at that point, but I guess people will try that new technology if it becomes available. I will not be a fan, personally.
