Surely, the energy cost to verify the translation would be the same as translating it? If you're struggling that much, why are you translating it at all? I cannot trust your translation.
If you tell an LLM to generate reports, it will, regardless of the actual quality of the environment. It doesn't know what's secure and what isn't. All you've shown it to do is convince the kinds of security analysts with a system so insecure as to have a LOT of good reports that their system is more secure than it is. Which is useless at best, detrimental at worst.
It's useless for translation. It's useless for security analysis. It's useless for rhyming (I notice you didn't mention that one). You're trying so hard to prove how useful it is, and your failure demonstrates how useless it is.
You can't condemn confident wrongness and defend LLMs. And you can't defend the billionaire's toxic Nazi plagiarism machine while questioning someone else's morals. You can't cherry-pick my argument and claim I'm the one fighting a strawman. ...Well, not if you're arguing in good faith.
