Since I have two university degrees in translation I can spot a bad translation from light-years away. Translation is often brought up as the perfect example of an excellent "AI" use-case, but let me tell you - you people have no fucking clue how incredibly bad "AI" translations are. It's an absolute shitshow. Every single one.
People who claim "AI" translations are good know not either the source or the target language, so how in the fuck do you know the translations are good? Tell me, motherfucker. TELL ME.
