I never understood both the hype and paranoia over DeepL. For the types of texts I worked with, the output results were consistently garbage. Won't surprise me if DeepL would go belly up after LLMs have figured out a way to stop hallucinating, unless the company implemented their own version of generative AI.

I don't know Indonesian, but with Japanese it's a hit and miss process in variable degrees with all kinds of "intelligent" tools.
Of course, it also depends on the type of text you feed in. With the type of text we often work with, which is not to be found on the Internet and therefore cannot be harvested by any engine, both DeepL and ChatGPT, and all the others for that matter, quite often produce nonsense or, anyway, require to be double checked with traditional resources.

Pretty much the same. Although I have a somewhat better success with Google Translate. That doesn't mean I can feed anything into it, however. There are a few types of texts which are not suitable for automation, as you pointed out.

Let's keep in mind that LLM technology is still at its infancy. We're all just jumping the gun and already romanticizing the prospects of these tools. Even computer scientists don't fully understand how these things work. Also…
