- Design and distribute stls that have parts that may be interpreted by whatever brain dead software is going to watch out for files, and print in two batches, say, something that may look like a lower, and then an upper, for a a nerf gun, for example, to glut the system.
The list goes on…

Translators have been using machine translation way before AI. The usual workflow is: you feed the original to the translation engine, that goes into a translation management program, where you usually have two or three panes; original, machine, human final draft.
The tools include dictionaries, thesaurus, y your own custom dictionary, and other tools.
The problem is that now, people, and businesses, are treating AI’s output as correct, essentially skipping the human part, which is the context aware step. An org I work with just translated an entire book, with no human proofing. After members complained, they asked me to proof it. I essentially did the same process. It was a bitch getting paid, because “AI did it”

I’m always surprised I these conversations that almost no one mentions always having a useful, generally charged, decent close range flashlight.
I’m old enough to ha e experienced that having a zippo was the most reliable way to see close range stuff. Flashlights were basically dead battery containers.
