Andrea ZaninClient: Hey, we had this translated, but it needs a review. Can you handle it?
Me: (looks at a pile of AI-generated gibberish)
Me: ... no. But I can translate it for you if you like.
Srsly, AI translation is today's version of "I had my nephew do a first pass, he speaks English OK!"

Happy update. Client responded that it was indeed done by AI, and they have been trying to edit some other AI translation into French and agree it's crap and not worth doing this way. So I get the job from scratch after all, and they won't be using AI going forward.
I so appreciate a smart client.
