This thread has made me realize the serious mistake of using AI to translate into Latin, and I understand the frustration of those who have dedicated time and effort to studying it. Honestly, that didn’t occur to me at the time; I just wanted to have a version of the motto in Latin because I loved how the phrase that inspired the article (which, of course, was not created with AI) sounded. Now I can see the problem and apologize for not having shown more respect for the language. |

You didn't disrepect the language. You're nothing like this clueless vandal, who did disrespect it and should have known better.[0] :D
Really, I wasn't railing against you personally or anything you did. And I shouldn't have turned the conversation in that direction in my last comment or two. Correcting the Latin was actually a delightful, fun exercise, and I meant only to rail against AI itself, which is infecting everything (and always, it seems to me, to the detriment of the infected).
Latin doesn't need any more respect than it's already gotten. It has probably already received too much. And it's fine to play with words, share, and ask for feedback. My hypomanic agitation (no joke) isn't your fault or your responsibility, and your response to my unhinged screed shows a generosity, patience, and kindness that I think you should be proud of. If my mind weren't buzzing this way, my comments would have been more playful, less critical.
Cheers, friend.
