As someone who loves writing in 3 languages (French and German being my native languages, English the third), playing with Claude (and to a lesser degree gpt4) has actually made me play and investigate the nuances of languages so much more. It does a great job of course doing stylistic transformations, which on their own are always stilted, but are great inspiration. But it also does a phenomenal job at explaining the nuances between the language, say when I want to explain why a certain German phrasing “feels” different to me.

Certainly seeing the amount of people never learning the language of the country they emigrated to, this is a problem we already have (and in my situation, never going to country where I don’t speak the language).

I think humans are going to continue nerding with language just as much as they ever have, I do really think it’s an innate drive, and llms are a mind blowing tool to do just so.
