The point of it is to generate arbitrary text locally, like the GPT-3 API does remotely.
It can "say"/talk about anything an average IQ person with knowledge of the entire internet and most books in existence could. So if you prompt it to write 100 pages on the differences between positive and negative law, as a poem, while never using a word with the letter "F" it will spit that out for you without any issue.
It can also program quite well, create recipes, debate with you, impersonate anyone, and lots more. And it does all of this offline, in airplane mode, locally on your PC or Mac.
It's good at translation but is probably one of the least efficient ways to translate text when models specifically for translation exist.
What models exist for translations? The reason I wonder is that a lot of community work has gone into producing high quality translations of Facebook. I have actually submitted a few translations myself. If Meta could release some of those models, it would be very powerful.
Right now I see "google translate" type quality everywhere and it's pretty bad, since there are often sentences you can't translate unless the technology understands the context and meaning.
