WHAT ELSE IT CAN DO

-

Meta AI can translate more than ‡ˆˆ languages, including Afrikaans, Chinese, Japanese, Welsh and Albanian, although proficienc­y may vary depending on the language and complexity of the text.

The tool can translate Œ ˆŽ‘ characters at a time, which is roughly equal to ’ˆˆ to “ˆˆ words, two to three paragraphs or ‡ˆ to ‡Ž sentences.

If you have a long piece of text you want translated you can break it up into smaller chunks and ask the tool to translate each one separately.

It can provide ideas, phrases or sentences to help with writing tasks. For instance, if you need to compose an email to your boss about why you need to take extra time off, you can ask it: “Compose an email explaining why I need to take three weeks off for a family maer in a tone that is respectful but also puts my needs across”. The more inforfor mation you give Meta AI, the more it has to work with.

You can copy and paste text into a chat and ask Meta AI to identify and correct grammatica­l errors, typos and punctuatio­n errors. If your text exceeds the Œ ˆŽ‘ character limit you can upload it in separate chunks. You can also ask the chatbot to suggest ways to improve the readabilit­y, tone and flow of your content. Meta AI can also summarise long pieces of text – again, posted in chunks – into concise points, highlighti­ng key points and main ideas. You can also ask it to explain a complex topic in simple terms. You can ask Meta AI to write a story, poem or script for you. As with all AI tools, the more informatio­n you give it the beer. For example, you can ask it, “Write a poem about the beauty of Table Mountain in Cape Town in the style of William Shakespear­e” and it will respond in less than a minute.
