Somehow LLMs can't do that for structured code with well defined semantics, but sure, they will be able to extract "obscure references" from speech/text

All these people who think this technology is already done evolving are so confusing. This has nothing to do with my statement even if it weren’t misleading to begin with.

There is really not that much similar between trying to code and trying to translate emotion. At the very least, language “compiles” as long as the words are in a sensible order and maintain meaning across the start and finish.

All they need to do now in order to be able to translate well is to have contextual knowledge to inform better responses on the translated end. They’ve been doing that for years, so I really don’t know what you’re getting at here.

Ah yeah, the famous "all they need to do". Such a minor thing left to do

Yeah, it’d take a major invention. Some kind of model of language that’s particularly large.

But when would that ever happen? Guess you’re right.
