       @Gargron Speaking as a human translator, I have to admit that machine translation has gotten a lot better over the past few years. I’ve been shocked at how good it is sometimes. But it’s still wrong often enough to be a problem. I make mistakes too, but I generally know when I’m having trouble understanding something and can flag it so someone else can check it. MT never knows whether it’s wrong (it never knows anything), and it sprays out plausible-seeming text that camouflages the problem. And of course, I’m just talking about the level of a factually correct translation, not even matters of style, etc.

       @NanoRaptor I seem to recall that Teller (of Penn & Teller) wrote something to the effect that magic really involves doing more setup work and practice than anyone would believe, so that when you pull the trick off, the only possible explanation is “magic.” Now we can attribute it to AI instead of magic.
