> At the dinner table a Norwegian is likely to say something like “Jeg vil ha potetene” (literally “I will have the potatoes”, which sounds presumptuous and haughty in English). Google Translate just gives the blunt direct translation.
"To will" means "it is my will", i.e. to want to, which became the future tense in English. In Norwegian is still means "want", and Google Translate indeed translates it as "I want the potatoes." If you translate the rising (pleading) intonation on "potatoes", you then have an unwritten "please?", i.e. "I want the potatoes?...", which is passable English.
Most businesses think AI code is "good enough", and that machine translation is "good enough", which tanks the entire industry because there is now more supply than demand. He says there are still plenty of translator jobs, but then justifies it as because "it’s inadvisable to subsititute (sic) Google Translate for an interpreter at a court hearing." Meaning, the thing taking away all the tech jobs temporarily (unchecked mass-migration) is the same thing keeping keeping him employed temporarily.
