"Everyone is using it, 45% admit it" Jan 27

If you read the small print, the 'numbers', and the '45%' stated therein are taken from 'one of the latest ProZ.com industry reports'.


They mean their questions they put in the forums, where only a handful responds. In the completely unregulated translation industry, everything is an "industry report".
So my opinion should be an industry report too, because to say I proofread "hundreds of docs annually" would be an understatement, if I have 3 daughters without college debt. So based on the texts that I proofread: 100% of Greek translators are using Google Trans API or other tool, and it shows in the writing (too chatty, meaning lots of additional useless words, causing headache and loss of concentration). In some cases they don't even bother editing, so when I run it out of curiosity through the API, it's 100% match.
When they can't use it (handwritten PDFs), sometimes the text into English is either funny or word-for-word, such as "the pilot of the fun boat" (she meant the helmsman of the recreational boat) or "the beautiful bouquet in front of the lens" (she meant the lens front bokeh), etc. Without the Google API they're gone.
The correct Proz report should have been "Probably everyone is using it, only 45% admit it".

"But this is new, client-specific text, how did it get it right?" Jan 27

...by the way, the more you are trying to beat MT with smarter entries in texts that need no change, the more alternative segments it has - one day the matching source appears, and it fills it 100% instantly ("but this is new client-specific text, how did it get it right?"). If you come across an MT segment better than yours, it means another translator at some point tried to beat the machine (to the machine's benefit).

What are we talking about here? Jan 27

I renew my question:

* Many people have not tried it

...we would need to know what is meant here with "AI"? Just the conversational CHAT BOTS?

More unsubstantiated uber-cynical speculation. If you stopped presenting your opinions as absolute truths from an insider who knows better than everyone else, they might gain more traction.

I for one don’t use AI, because it’s rubbish.
