Crunchyroll Accidentally Reveals They've Been Using ChatGPT for Sub Translations https://www.cbr.com/crunchyroll-chatgpt-sub-anime/

Isn't translation one of the few actually effective uses for llms? Or am I remembering wrong?

As with most AI/LLMs it's about how much error you can tolerate.

Translating basic info, sure the user can infer any slight mess ups. Translating jokes, idoms, tone, cultural differences, etc. is hard assuming you even got the original text right.
