Much less impressive, though still useful: ChatGPT is an awesome movie subtitle translator. Only very unusual phrases need to be corrected, often there are no such cases. There are projects on GitHub that automate the translation. Short SRT files can be just pasted into the chat with appropriate instructions.

How can ChatGPT translate a comedy show without knowing what's going on on screen, and various context that contribute to the humor?
Feed the scene into whisper to extract the audio and then feed that into got 3.5/4 for context?
That's a valid point! In similar vein, I was always impressed with the translation of Asterix and Obelix into English. The puns were done quite well!
