HarperCollins will use AI to translate books
Surprisingly difficult to find articles about this. Maybe a failure of my Google-Fu.

Harper Collins through their Harlequin imprint fired their French translators and it's replacing them with AI. They likely assumed that the 'disposable' romance novels are a good test bed for AI. But if it isn't a disaster, don't be surprised to see it encroach elsewhere.

YouTuber CriminOlly did a pretty good story on it and I think his observations are spot on.
