guernésiais

Guernésiais, the traditional Norman language of Guernsey, is increasingly being translated by AI systems like Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT. While these tools can produce impressively fluent results, experts warn they also generate confident but incorrect translations. With only a few hundred fluent speakers, such errors risk spreading into tattoos, signs, and everyday usage, potentially reshaping the language through digital mistakes. The language lacks a standard orthography and comprehensive digital corpora, making AI translations unreliable. This tag covers discussions on the risks of AI translation for minority languages, the importance of human oversight, and efforts to protect Guernésiais from unintended harm.
