I mean at least its a valid use of a LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL, focus on it being a language model. If they actually optimize it for translating it could be a good thing.
I’m a language teacher and tbh, deepl is difficult to detect at a high level. It’s easier if you know their style and if you can recognize phrasing from their native language, but if you’re giving a native Dutch speaker you don’t know an essay to write at C1 academic German, good fucking luck telling if it’s an ai translation or not.
I’m a C1 Dutch speaker (barely, technically) and before I understood how evil LLMs are, I played around with some of them to have them tweak things I wrote in Dutch into different styles. It was pretty eye opening.
