If AI can read and comprehend 1,000 books in one minute, then why is it taking Google so long to put languages in Gemini? Language learning is literally vocabulary. I think they still using people to program
Vocabulary is definitely part of language but there's also grammar and even spelling. Plus, if they really want to implement the Intelligence part of AI, you'd need a lot of cultural background for each language.
Sh*t… all it needs to read is some hooked on phonics. Sounds like a lot of excuses for AI. It literally only needs to read. That's how humans learned. lol
