I've stopped relying on third-party translations because it's common for people to editorialise or miss subtleties, especially in social media... but even professional journalists.
And the idea of disregarding professional translations in favor of LLMs for quality reasons is breathtakingly...something. Arrogant? Naive?
“You always want to use the backhoe!”, says the person with a giant hole they need excavated quickly and cheaply.
On my local news sites I still see crap like english word order but Romanian words on filler articles, which means it wasn't even a LLM.
Even GPT 4 was massively better.
Some people just don’t understand how general purpose these chat bots are and insist on continuing to use single purpose tools that have been left in the dust.
