  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.

  I wonder if they connect all the way back to Micro$oft’s neo Nazi charity from decades ago?

    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.
