Has Generative AI Opened a New Era for Machine Translation?——A Contrastive Quality Study and Reflections on Translation Education
The introduction of the generative artificial intelligence technology,has had an immediate and substantial impact on the mode of work of those involved in language content services,sparking a massive proliferation in its potential applications.In order to evaluate the performance of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer(GPT)language model in translation practices,a translation quality assessment experiment combining automatic machine evaluation and manual evaluation was conducted.The results showed that the GPT language model does not constitute an iteration of machine translation technology in the field of translation but that it does provide a noticeable degree of quality improvement in Chinese-English translation,terminology translation,and literary translation,among other tasks.On this basis,some suggestions on how to respond to the changes brought by artificial intelligence technology to translation education are put forward.
