• the 1st writing motivated by the common topic about AI

While an unclear but maybe usable idea to develop a language machine, or a real time interpreter, came up, I also thought how the possible world in which we do not have to (are not forced to) learn a new foreign language would be. Sometimes techniques go faster than we have estimated, and it is actually not only in dreams anymore to see good alternatives rather than ordinary amateurs in the real world.

It seems that the world wants the machine actually. People may hope to see that 'the perfect machine' will work better than human as AlphaGo did. Or it can be just because of some dominant researchers or developers who would like to show off their achievement or lead the market.

But for the normal, or just to me, what would it mean, when I will give up to learn the things? Will it really help us, human being, to make our lives better and more efficient?

Even if any perfect machine will be introduced some day, I hope that I would not give up learning any new languages, as learning itself is still meant to be human, and there must be at least someone who can update them to leave better than us. It sounds tricky and ironic, but good developers will not be those who write codes better than machines (or artificial intelligence), but who will still think as human and let them work better than us on the base of understanding who we are, and how we do.

Learning languages might be a part of many other fundamentals of human being, so that I wish to learn continuously as humans do, understand us more and better, in order to interpret the whole intuitional and instinctive processes effectively.

That is why I am spending my time to write this stuff, trying to figure out how our brain proceeds to do such a thing.

So the conclusion is: no perfect machine yet, we still do have to learn.

p.s. I do not like to be called by other names, and they have not been necessary as my colleagues or friends abroad wanted to learn how my name should be correctly pronunciated when they wanted to work together. I let my name as it is, therefore, but it could be shorter as 'Hua', which is written or called in german way, if necessary.
