> because if you use AI to write, you are a waste of biomass
Damn, that is so hurtful. I'm sorry if English is my third language. But for my project documents I would love to read it like a proper documentation so I'm thankful for AI.
Translation is fine.
It’s a crutch, it’s rarely as good as from an experienced translator or native speaker, and often distorts the original to some extent. It can be the lesser evil when someone doesn’t know the language well, but it still tends to be a subpar experience.
Is it, though? The post author is railing against it.
Nobody cared if you translated using Google Translate in the past. People don't care if you use claude to translate now. But people are clearly doing more than they claim when they just translate their text, since their "translations" end up full of AI-isms.
