On the other site, Studio Ghibli-style AI output is going viral and allow me to just say it is profoundly depressing to see that stuff being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to him.

Glad to see examples of #AI impact on translation taking centre stage. Considering the rather generalised assumption that #translation is already automated, this is worth a read.
