Comment on Google Translate is vulnerable to prompt injection

I don’t know if a lot of people realize that LLM’s basically started from Google translate.

Not sure if you really want to know, but a Google paper is where transformers (backbone of LLMs) were first mentioned (2016 I believe). Google initially used transformers for translations and eventually search, but OpenAI experimented with them for text generation (gpt 1+) eventually leading to chatgpt.

Not in a meaningful sense. It used to be actual string-to-string translation, now it’s extracting the translation from a question-answer zero shot.
