Let me guess: they'll release the game with broken translations, on the same level as "all your bases are belong to us"*, players will shit on those translations, and then they'll either give up translating their other games altogether, or they'll re-hire a human translator. The end.

*or more like the inverse. Large models tend to behave like a human translator who isn't proficient in the source language; AYBABTU was likely the result of someone proficient in the source, but not in the target.
