Here, > AI can help flag such issues during review. That is really sad. 'ads or political text' sounds like something that would be visible immediately if somebody looked at the change at all. Which implies that you do not want to look at it, and have AI review it. That is put AI in charge. That's not going to go well. Translation quakity is something AI cannot help with unless you want it to decrease. Thanks Michal
