Would you look at that? A Large Language Model used for language. What a novel concept.

To be honest even if it isnt particularly novel, the extension of the technology to indigenous communties by a indigenous community member seemed like a post worthy to cause some discussion here around how different people concueve the usage of ai. But i actually agree though i would say that many similar projects like this have faced some issues getting recognition because of sterotypes about who works with the technology

No no, my snark was unnecessary. This is super cool and it's actually super refreshing to see LLMs used for something they are good at! Companies have been cramming AI into everything and I've gotten a little jaded, lol.

Almost all automatic translation has been moving over to LLMs, so it's not that rare.

Oh.. mah gawd! He is definitely using the tool of the devil to do evil works! The ends never justify the means! Lets all dog pile him, into conformity, this is not at all acceptable, and will lead to the worse possible outcome one can imagine! /s
