LLM output costs "nothing". Which means that individual users

doing a service to users. It is also dangerous because LLM output is
strangely false in weird and unexpected places, and besides for a human
review service that I doubt the Gnu project would be willing to
provide,
there is nothing that would keep those errors to be spread in the wild,
at a real cost that you can’t imagine.
LLMs do *not* provide “more up to date and varied translations”. They
provide “probable strings that they do not understand, but it looks
human enough that a human can be tricked into thinking that a human who
understands the subject matter actually wrote that”.
Very well written. While using LLMs may seem like a quick and easy
solution, it may actually be very dangerous in the long term.
