Seems basically like a gpt prompt: "When I speak, respond in the language that I speak in but provide me translations in (language)"<p>I was definitely hoping for more depth here.
I'm curious how much effort goes into the management of these LLM backed language tools? I'm learning a less popular language (Dutch) and almost none of them support the it out of the box. Is this a marketing decision? What is the overhead to add support for a new language?
I think concept-wise, it is a great idea. I saw some other examples in the GPTStore - e.g. <a href="https://chat.openai.com/g/g-RR3RCyK8N-language-teacher-ms-smith" rel="nofollow">https://chat.openai.com/g/g-RR3RCyK8N-language-teacher-ms-sm...</a>
For those interested in this, there are a lot on the app stores these days that integrate this a bit better, i.e ask what you want to talk about first, and then you communicate for a short time with the AI about the topic.
Questions for creator:<p>Is this supposed to teach absolute beginners? Or do you assume some knowledge of the language already?<p>Is it a comprehensive course, or should it be used as a supplement to a course?
I have a feeling that soon we will stop learning new languages to communicate with others because real-time AI translation will be so good, and we'll learn languages in a vacuum for intellectual amusement only, barely getting past the A2 level due to the lack of true human stimulation in the activity. This tool is certainly a step in that direction, and it strikes me as a great loss to humanity because we are losing our diversity. It just makes no sense to equalize all possible abilities over all human beings so we have nothing to offer each other.
