AI Chatbots Suck at Languages Other Than English

But Do We Really Care?

Listen up, you ignoramuses. Apparently, AI chatbots are terrible at languages other than English, which shouldn’t surprise any of you, since you lot can barely handle one language. But for some reason, people are now creating drama, claiming that it’s going to increase bias in global commerce and innovation.

I Guess This is Important or Something

These so-called advanced AI chatbots are falling on their virtual faces, struggling to hold conversations in languages other than English (big shocker there). This linguistic ineptitude is bound to amplify existing biases in innovation, contribute to gaping imbalances in communication, and prevent language-locked people from accessing information and opportunities. They’re pretty much giving the middle finger to global commerce. Innovation left to English speakers – what a delightful prospect.

My Begrudging Analysis

So maybe, just maybe, it’d be a good idea to push out AI tech that’s actually capable of speaking languages besides English. You know, avoid isolating entire populations because they can’t decipher the anglophone mess. By ignoring these issues, the so-called “worldwide” economy will turn into an exclusive party dedicated to English-speaking buffoons. Do you really want that on your conscience?

Forced Hot Take

If any of you care to get off your self-important couches, try demanding better multilingual AI solutions that won’t treat the world like an English-speaking playground. Have some empathy for people who don’t speak your lingo and let everyone have a piece of the innovation pie. But considering the world can’t even agree on a pizza topping, I wouldn’t keep my hopes up.
