Fuck AI

Yes. I'd also be a bit cautious with just any (LLM) AI service. You could of course copy-paste something into ChatGPT if you wanted. And order it to translate the text. From my experience, it's kinda good at it?! Handles context and idioms and tone better than other solutions. But(!) there's a reason why other machine translation tools don't work like that. There's no guarantee it won't fabricate facts, leave out detail or decide to summarize things in some weird way, and misrepresent what you put in. Pretty much all the things we know AI chatbots do.

Things like Project Bergamot (which I like to use) are way more efficient because they're made for one specific task. And it's designed to closely follow the input and not do weird things. So I'd prefer these solutions over random AI usage. And they likely also used less resources in some training process. And didn't steal as many books as some other AI companies 😅 I didn't look it up but I bet it's way more ethical to use. Plus it doesn't invade my privacy.
