RE: https://mastodon.social/@hanno/116193243981099211

I've seen a non-native speaker trusting an AI translation tool to draft the German version of a minor document change.

The AI tool hallucinated a subtle mistake in the written-out number - "63872 (in Worten: Dreiundsechzigtausendachthundertundsiebzig)" - an error which the non-native speaker was obviously unable to spot.

Translation is often hailed as a positive example of using AI, but it suffers the same problem of human nature to accept a machine's plausibly looking result as "good enough" without the review that would be required.
