韓國語 母語 話者로서 정말 하고 싶은 말이 많아지게 하는 글이네… 只今 東京 旅行中이라 글을 쓸 수가 없는데, 있다가 角 잡고 제대로 反駁 글을 써 봐야 할 듯.

Machine translations are often brought up as a gotcha whenever I criticize LLMs. It's worth pointing out two things: Machine translations existed decades before LLMs, and yes, machine translations are useful. However: I would never in my life read a machine translated book. Understanding what a social media post is talking about in rough terms? Sure. Literature? Absolutely not. Hell, have you ever seen machine translated subtitles? It's absolute garbage.
