Please use actual machine translation systems, not generative AI.

这样确实可以避免AI味儿,但是可能阅读起来会体验很差,我最早就是用machine translation翻译,很多部分变得非常wordy,同时令人费解。

That’s some grade A nonsense.

The core algorithm behind modern generative AI was developed specifically for translation, the task which arguably these chatbots are the most suited! It’s the task that they’re far the best at, both relative to older translation algorithms (which were also AI), and relative to their capabilities other tasks that they’re being put to. These LLMs are “just” text-to-text transformers! That’s where the name comes from!

“Stop using the best electric power tool, please use the outdated steam powered tool.” is what you’re saying right now.

You’re not even asking for something to be “hand crafted”, you’re just being a luddite.
