Right, I get what you're saying about Japanese, I took a few years of Japanese in school, and it is a really interesting grammatical problem. (Which is why I love this example even more)

If you read the released book about the project, one of the problems he brings up is that also the AI will pick words that start with the same letter as the first kana, seemingly at random, when it gets confused.

While I don't disagree that using AI might not be the best tool for Japanese translation, or that there might be better specific Japanese translators that use AI, I think the idea that AI has "mastered translation" is honestly going a bit too far, which was the point I was attempting to make.
