    Have you tried out https://chat.openai.com/chat?
    I was fiddling with it and found out it can translate Chinese novels quite well. You only use small bits of text. But it works.
    What do you think? Is it better than google translate?

    Haven't tried it, but I'll go ahead and guess it'll have the same limitations as other translation engines as it's just pulling out from data it has.

    Nuances gone, puns gone. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets stumped by some typos or continuation writing.

    1, I'm waiting for its API to come out.
    2, Judging from the price of GPT-3's API, it will be costly.
