I'd much rather (and do) take a couple minutes to write my own take-aways. It's the golden rule in a business context: I'd prefer to receive three one-sentence bullet points that are actually accurate over a couple pages of AI slop, so that's what I give to my colleagues.
The cross-language factor is an interesting angle I haven't had to contend with, though.
Note that this depends on the language. LLM translations aren't that much more accurate than predecessors other than that it's more strongly constrained to grammatical English, and there's limit to how natural one could be through translations, depending on how much cultural co-development your own background had with the target environment - your framing and storytelling will sound off even through human translators if the cultures are too far apart.
LLMs tends to be a bit more robust than previous MTs, that's for sure.
Couldn’t be further from my experience. I work with a distributed team that has four different native languages, with substantial engineering staff for each.
LLMs have made our cross-geo communications so much better. I can get a summary of a standup that happened overnight (to me) and in a foreign language (to me) when I get up in the morning. I can write idiomatically and naturally without worrying it will be confusing or misinterpreted.
Plenty of people are not naturally talented writers, especially in your language of choice. LLM writing doesn’t mean they don’t care, it means they DO care about communicating clearly.
