Comment on This game has 100 endings, and it's pushing the creators to the brink of bankruptcy | PC Gamer

Pure machine translation would indeed be sloppy, but games have done it before. An automated 1st pass with a last check from a human contractor seems reasonable for a studio about to fold.

“and call it a day” is all the sign i need.

If it saves your company from bankruptcy, then why not do it? The developers even said it got a little out of control.
Surez you can call me and “AI Bro” lol. But I’m just being real. Using AI or find another job? Use AI all day and make better choices with the next title.

“Save” is a bit stretch, if they officially released a halfassed translation(which AI translation without went through a layer of human emotion is), you will be damn sure the reception is gonna be negative, which would negatively impact the sales and also reputation they have.

Yeah honestly I agree with you.
But like others said, not sure iffy translations would be enough to save the company.

Not following that at all…
AI Bro is pretty specific. To me, its evangelists worshipping nebulous ideas and figures like Altman or maybe Musk, looking down on others for not “understanding” how amazing their vision of AI is, all in on the enshittification and impracticality, all in on the raging hype.
It feels very much like crypto fanaticism.
Even if we interpret OP as cynically as possible (lazy AI-only translation when they have another option)… that’s bad, but not “AI Bro” to me.
