I don't know how it is with Maori, but I have seen many lament that for Sami (it's Sami people's day, by the way! Lihkku sámi álbmotbeivviin!), people are afraid to speak it because they don't have enough experience and are afraid to do it wrong. It's not an entirely unreasonable concern that a language should get influenced/corrupted by a bad machine translator that is just good enough that people can pick up its errors. But humans can easily pick up errors from poor speakers as well... I think that as long as the prestige resides with experienced human speakers, the risk isn't great.
