In the modern era, the integration of technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), into various domains presents both opportunities and challenges. Notably, while AI has made strides in numerous fields, its influence on literary translation is particularly profound. Our research assesses AI’s strengths and limitations in comparison to vital human translation skills essential for top-tier literary translations. Through a focused comparative analysis of fragmented literary texts, our results highlight that, despite machine translation’s advancements and speed, it cannot fully replace human translators. Specifically in literary contexts, maintaining quality and accuracy remains a daunting task for AI-driven systems.
