Speech Recognition Is Not Solved

I am not sure that is a good translation because it completely misses a common idiom: "within spitting distance"

"spitting the distance from the performance of the human level"

If this were spoken out loud, it might get mistaken for "splitting the distance" which seems to have a different meaning (half as good as humans).

But the point is subtle differences matter a lot in human communication.

But, I do agree with your point that in a lot of cases even without human-level performance one can get things done.

After reading the translated version again, I'm not sure I can support my statement anymore. I think a big part of my impression was based on the fact the I read the original comment and knew what you were talking about.

> I did a little part of you. Just human level for just a simple little prayer.

It's just bad. It sounds like it's based on a n-gram model - about something religious, strangely enough.
