'Is MT Translation?' What a silly question. Of course not. It is mindless #trashlation, lacking anything even approximating understanding. The best of it is statistical regurgitation with all the charm of a dog's vomit. But with inferior taste in most cases.
Merz is a deluded twit. Automated #trashlation tools and AI will never provide the levels of accuracy and reliability for diplomatic exchanges. Sure, they can replace the humans and reap trouble for doing so.
Ah, that lovely race to the bottom. Sounds like your former agency client has caught the #trashlation virus that's been making the rounds. I wish them a nice life in the toilet.
Thoughts on the slippery slope of reliance on machine spew for programming and #trashlation.

What a losing concept. Just another trashy #trashlation service from yet another bottom feeder. Book translations from #GenAI will never generate the kind of enthusiasm I saw for translated works at #Celsius232! Authors: get a real #translator who can be faithful to your craft.
So. Those shitweasels at Google now force content creators to opt out of automatic machine #trashlation. And then claim traffic to the garbled pages as their own? Smells like some kind of IP theft to me.
Seeds of change. As I detox my mind for five days on Portugal's southern coast, I hope to sow some. Changes to my Substack spaces foremost, as things I need to say have ever less to do with commercial #trashlation and more with the toxic torrents descended upon us, this awful reign of fools.
Why can't they just be honest, Erik? My friend, you and I both know that the small, honest boutique agencies like yours have largely given way to the greedy word rapists, large and larger, who occupy today's commercial #trashlation space.
Effective, reliable communications, including translation, require solid foundations of real expertise not subject to being blown apart by the constantly shifting winds of manipulation and dishonest technoprofiteering. GenAI as a creative language transposition tool is #trashlation, useless.

Bad GenAI-created texts also influence the edited result in ways that inevitably lead to less clarity and inferior style. And the mental strain of such work diminishes one's language skills.
There are no positive human benefits to using GenAI for professional translation. It's #trashlation!

An IBM slide from 1979 stating that as computers cannot be held accountable, they must never make management decisions.
The same applies for machine #trashlation and "AI". Only fools let algorithms have the last word!
A #regex a day for #trashlation dismay....
