    As stupid as that home page looks, DeepL is one of the services that was already using “AI” and it’s a valid use case. Has the functionality actually changed?

      Yep but he UX is the problem here, the homepage used to be the translator. Fortunately, you can fix this by bookmarking the /translator page.

      I didn’t complain about that huge pop-up that shifts the whole UI down so you have to either close it or scroll down, but it’s becoming worse and worse.

        Ok I see what you mean. On mobile it still opens the translator but on desktop it’s pretty annoying.

          I hope they never touch the mobile app ever. Upgrade the ai model? Add new languages? Sure! But please no ads or popups. Even Apple’s suite is making AI ads now…

      Well, but not GenAI in the current meaning; LLMs have similarities to it but still use a different technology

        The screenshot doesn’t claim to use LLMs though. AI could be anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
