#WritersCoffeeClub July 8: Have you ever received feedback on a piece that completely missed the mark?
The only thing that comes to mind is: "Have you ever considered using #AI -based #translation for your work?"
While yes, my writing work is all about translating all German folk tales, the actual "translation" aspect is the least part of it. And even here I don't see AI-based translation as particularly helpful, since the 19th century texts I translate are full of obscure idioms and dialect words that AI translation would struggle with.
But more importantly, when I translate these texts I have to think about the _context_ of these tales - the 19th century environment in which they were set and told. And then I have to research and explain this context to an international audience.
Can AI do _this_ part for me? Without constantly hallucinating blatant falsehoods? I have serious doubts.
No, if I want to do all this _right_, then I have to do this work by myself. #amwriting #DeepL
