precisely. it's the wrong tool for the job. LLM translation produces text that is more intelligible to the reader, but with more frequent and more significant deviations in accuracy of translation compared to traditional approaches. that's truly the worst outcome, because the vast majority of users cannot possibly vet the translation *and* come away feeling more confident in the translation's accuracy because it reads clean. the wonkiness in an imprecise translation is a critical signal.
