Translating Latin demonology manuals with GPT-4 and Claude
"It's clear that GPT-4 and Claude are skilled translators" on what basis? What makes a predictor LLM better at translating Latin than a system trained specifically for translation?I'm sure they can do a decent job but it's weird to me that someone would leap to GPT-style tech despite its known tendency to hallucinate/make stuff up instead of translation-oriented tools like DeepL or Google Translate (I say this as someone who despises both of those tools due to their quality issues)I can't imagine there are vast swaths of Latin in GPT's training set.
