Would changing the narrative (or even the verb) help save human translation from the machine?

¿Podría traducir un LLM un fragmento como este? Supongo que sí. Pero ¿podría traducirlo con una atención tan detallada a las fuentes, el ritmo y el léxico entre arcaizante, técnico y accesible para el lector medio? Ni de coña. diariodeuntraductor.es/a/3mrx2pwo7q...

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Karel, a bored Dutch teenager is desperate for ANYTHING to happen. Then Hitler invades, Karel falls in love with his uncle's mistress's daughter, and the whole country collapses. Funny, alarming, and completely convincing. It might be teen angst, but sometimes the world really is ending. From 1950.

The thing that depresses me in the whole AI revolution in my industry (I’m a literary translator and publisher) is that the question is not whether machines can replace human translators, but how will we deal with the fallout after machines are forcibly introduced regardless.

To say that AIs can replace human translators is to say that AI can replace human painters and sculptors and singers and poets. It's to assume that AIs as they are currently made and will be made for the foreseeable future can surpass humans in those things which require a soul.

Translators work hard to make sure that the translated words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, etc, not only convey the author's meaning, but also the author's *style.* Translators are alchemists. They are artists, and poets, and researchers, and editors. They are magicians and wizards.
