There's no way Google Translate will ever be monetized. So yes, it's effectively an expensive art project for Google, not something that brings real business value.

Hotword detection ('ok google') is a practical application of AI, but that's really slim pickings considering how hyped 'AI' was. (Also, the costs of data collection for this feature are still way too high.)
