It reportedly has the capability to translate languages in real-time during voice calls, video calls, and face-to-face. The feature is said to be better than language translation on Google’s Pixel Buds as the former doesn’t require an active internet connection.

I hope they come in yellow.

A device that performs live translations? Sokath, his eyes uncovered!

When it turns out that it will gather huge amounts of data and sell it for advertising purposes? Shaka, when the walls fell.

Google, it’s pockets laden. (meh, they already have listening devices everywhere, two more won’t really make a difference)

Samsung isn’t Google…

Sokath, his eyes covered. (Samsung has tons of phones and mics everywhere too) Does anyone actually use Bixby though?

Gamoc@lemmy.world on 14 Dec 2023 15:38 collapse

They do, yes. Samsung I mean, Bixby is useless.

Claims not to need active internet connection

Well I’d like to see that… so the ads will be preloaded?

“Can I have a drink please”

Will translate smoothly to:

“Can I have a cold refreshing Coca-Cola™ please?”

That’s the whole point of “on-device AI”. It should all be happening directly on the buds.

Is it a feature of the Galaxy Buds or a feature of the Galaxy S24? They say this is better than the Pixel Buds because it doesn’t require an internet connection, but the Pixel Buds do not have language translation at all. They’re headphones you connect to a phone that has language translation, and it’s the phone that needs internet to work. If it were a feature of the Galaxy Buds that would be much more impressive, but since the article doesn’t say exactly, it’s unlikely that the Galaxy Buds actually have real-time language translation at all and it’s just phone software and marketing.

From the article:

Apparently, Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy Buds will feature on-device AI

The on-device (mentioned a few areas) would lead me to believe it’s the buds themselves, despite it being also on the phone.

Does translation need actual AI?

FuzzChef@feddit.de on 13 Dec 2023 22:38 next collapse

Yes, as the semantic of words is context dependent.

Lmaydev@programming.dev on 13 Dec 2023 22:39 next collapse

AIs are way better at it.

Lets stay at LLM and not AI.

wmassingham@lemmy.world on 13 Dec 2023 23:06 next collapse

No, but it’s a hell of a lot easier to put huge language datasets into the machine learning blender and get a model out, instead of manually programming every conceivable linguistic construction.

ours@lemmy.world on 14 Dec 2023 09:58 collapse

Oh and it likely has to do speech-to-text first, another good fit for machine learning models.

ours@lemmy.world on 14 Dec 2023 09:55 collapse

Once again the buzzword “AI” is vague. It’s likely a chip that runs a deep-learning-based model for translation. Deep learning has excellent results in translation

So not AI in the LLM like ChatGPT.

As a machine learning researcher who spends all my time with other researchers, we all hate the word “AI” used to describe LLMs also

You just have to remeber to flip them on.
