A little furry black dog sits by the entrance of a country inn, monitoring people coming and going.
His human is chatting with other locals, but Little Furry Dog is vigilant.
If there's anyone to quietly woof at, he's the one to do it! (1)

In my experience, talent is a *detriment* to learning.
I didn't have to practice early on so I *didn't know how*. I didn't start to learn how to practice until my 30s! (When much of my life was taken up with parenting, so I didn't have time!)
I didn't start to improve as a musician until my 40s!

To translate is to leave something, almost everything, out.
Translation is a conscious process where the elements that are put aside are as important as those that we choose to keep. AI, thus, cannot translate because it is incapable of understanding the act of leaving behind.
