IMO, the quality of the translations has dropped significantly. When they first launched it was noticeably better than almost anything else. Now it's comparable to the alternatives. And I don't think the alternatives got that better, it's DeepL that is not as good anymore.

I still use it for most of the translations I need (mostly English <> German). And sometimes I have to check the translation because it can mess up the actual meaning of the sentence. Sometimes I can catch it with my limited German, sometimes I run it through another translator. And it "hallucinates" often enough, unfortunately.
