    If it makes more mistakes than humans and therefor requires humans to check all of their work, and it’s been shown to not be very cost-effective, then what’s the point? Better to just not use the AI at all.

      Human revision of a text is way faster than human writing of the same. A human can review way more translations than he can translate in the same time.

      If that is your job, as long as the LLM can generate a decent translation, that is a good trade. This is not to say that there may not be better tools than LLMs, I’m not much into the business of translations.

        1. I kinda don’t agree, for me personally it’s faster to write than it would be to read and comprehend.

        2. Companies buy employees time the same way they buy tokens, the humans cost about the same for better results, so quickness isn’t really a factor here unless you’re willing to lower quality for speed and generally that isn’t the case with translation work.
