It now occurs to me that maybe one way of making people understand that literary translation cannot be done by a machine is to bring up the case of translating a song into a song that is singable and not weird. Find a program that can do that well (or at all) and I might consider hanging up my hat. When I talked to those kids on Friday, I asked if they had ever seen AI-produced illustrations (They had) and talked about the "uncanny valley" and how it applied to language, too.
