> But yes, you can find a few exercises where humans still outperform Google Translate. They're mostly unfair (humans outperform the AI because they have side-channel information available, e.g. what events happened outside of the content of the actual translation. A good test would exclude that and then humans are 100% left behind, but in the press ...)
