Google Translate has been around for years, and runs on regular CPUs fine, so I personally wouldn’t classify it as current generation AI or predicated on Nvidia chips.

Definitely a killer app though. Same as Google maps is a non-AI killer app.

Google Translate was probably the first commercial product to utilize Transformer architecture and also training it absolutely racked up a huge bill to NVidia probably even way back in the day up to now

I'm not sure if that is what OP meant, but one thing that the current crop of top tier LLMs is extremely good at is translation. GPT-4 is good enough for Babelfish-style real time conversation on complicated topics for many languages.
