This was a very fun article to read. I am currently taking an A.I. course so this crossover was very welcomed. Although A.I. is not all machine learning, Google certainly enjoys using this to enhance their products. Google Maps could very well been a standard A.I. algorithm to find the shortest path to your destination, but Google decided to use machine learning to update routes, and predict traffic making what seem like longer routes more desirable. Of course as mentioned in the article, Google Translate uses machine learning to render natural sentences. As we read before, creating a symbolic A.I. to break down the rules of a language to another not only takes a long time, it is also incredibly difficult, that's why machine learning is so important for translation. The mentioned near the end of the section we had to read about the A.I. being able to "understand" well enough to engage in plausible conversation. I think that this is already making good progress. A.I. Dungeon is a game where you can type a prompt, and the A.I. will make a story for you. As it goes on you can add more story elements, and speak with other characters in the story. The technology, although a little crusty, is incredibly impressive and has only gotten better with each update. This ability to create stories and conversations is incredibly important when translating phrases and it will only improve.
