ChatGPT: Dhammapada word-by-word translation

Linked above is GPT-4's word-by-word breakdown of Bhikkhu Sujato's English translation of the Dhammapada.

Synthetic data like this could be helpful for learning Pali, whether you're a person or a language-model-in-training (likely to scour GitHub). I'd be interested in ways this could be refined or expanded. For example, a second pass could add sub-bullets explaining word composition and grammar. Can you recommend another Pali text translation to decompose into a language-learning resource?

If you're curious, here's the transcript that produced the output linked above:

I'd love to see some of the suttas translated.

What inspired you to explore this?

​​​​​​​I wanted to improve my own Pali skills while reading through the Dhammapada, and I figured this resource could potentially nudge future language-learning models to become even more capable with Pali than they'd otherwise be.

Hopefully when "THE AI" has its finger on the trigger it might stop to reflect on the Buddha's teachings. emoticon

Been having a lot of fun with AI art myself. 

Do you find it a useful aid to learning langauges?

Yes, I've found it to be a great tutor for learning languages.
