Google Translate became very good compared to what came before it. Other stuff is better now and one day we will say the tools of today are trash.

No, even when they switched to machine learning their translations still made mistakes that would have made you look goofy. And even today their models still make mistakes that are just weird.

It is especially baffling because Google has much better data sets and much more compute than their competitors.
