I translated a text with deepl today. It isn't very good, but I noticed that translating my corrections back into the original language often made the original text better. The translator thus showed me how to become my own editor. Maybe this is the true value of #LLMs . They have no reasoning ability, no curiosity. They prefer to make mistakes than to work out implications. They are pure collective language oracles, the quintessential proof-readers.
