The Great Enshittification...

Edit: I am referring to the UI change. They worsened the UX in favor of their AI ads. I’m not a fan of their new AI agent stuff, but this isn’t what I was criticizing here.

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.

    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)_/¯

    Why wouldn't a language translation service not use a large language model? The service is named after Deep Learning after all.

    Oh yeah it is, but in my original post I was referring to the UI change. They worsened the UX in favor of their AI advertising.

    I uninstalled it when it forced me to update the app before using it.
