>Instead, the translation service understands language patterns (i.e. syntax, semantics, common phrases). In the same way, Copilot translates from English to Python, Rust, JavaScript, etc.
The statement that language models actually understand syntax and semantics is still subject of significant debate. Look at all discussion around "horse riding astronaut" for stable diffusion models and the prompts with geometric shapes which clearly show that the language model does not semantically understand the prompt.
