I mainly use it for Spanish which I have a basic proficiency in. It just accompanies me on my learning journey. It may be wrong sometime but not often. Like the other reply said, LLMs are good at languages, it’s what they were originally designed for until people found out they could do more (but not quite as well).
And as for filtering, I just use it as a news feed sanitizer with a whole bunch of rules. It will miss things sometimes but it’s also my ruleset that’s not perfect. I often come across the unfiltered sources anyway and even if it misses something, it’s only news. Nothing really important to me.
It’s not always perfect, but it’s good for getting a tldr to see if maybe something is worth reading further. As for translations, it’s something AI is rather decent at. And if I go from understanding 0% to 95%, really only missing some cultural context about why a certain phrase might mean something different from face value, that’s a win.
You can do a lot with AI where the cost of it not being exactly right is essentially zero. Plus, it’s not like humans have a great track record for accuracy, come to think of it. It comes down to being skeptical about it like you would any other source.
How do you know it’s doing any of this correctly, especially filtering and translations?

Not OP, but…
