- woodandsteel 8y agoLately I have been using google translate, which I assume uses AI, to translate a lot of Japanese. Boy, is it terrible. Among other things, it gets pronouns like I vs you vs he/sh wrong almost all the time. And it usually translates what should be she as he. Beyond that, the sentences, if you can call them that, are often ungrammatical jumbles, though I can usually figure out the general drift. Sometimes they are simply incomprehensible.
