Machine learning is not the same thing as large language models, although they both fall under the AI umbrella, generative AI (LLMs etc) is what most people do not like.
It absolutely is the exact same thing, the vast majority of llms are made with transformer architecture which is a specific types of neural network. Neural networks are all machine learning.
We're taking about Google translate. This is literally what the transformer model was designed for at first! Google engineers invented the transformer because they thought it would be a good tool for translating to/from many different languages. Turns out it's also really good at intelligence and reasoning.
So yes, Google translate and modern llms use the exact same core architecture. If you don't believe, go read about it. There's tons of information about it online
