Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

I am begging you to keep using your brain for tasks rather than genAI.
Thinking and doing are good for you. You don't want atrophy of muscles, so why would you want the brain equivalent?
