Aspects of creativity in AI-powered Polish-to-English literary translation

This research paper explores the capabilities and limitations of various AI models in translating Polish literary texts into English. The study examines the impact of different prompt settings on translation output, focusing on the creativity, accuracy, and correctness of AI-generated texts. The aspect of creativity in the generated texts is analysed through the application of creative shifts as proposed by Bayer-Hohenwarter. By evaluating translations generated by diverse AI models with varied prompts, this research aims to provide insights into the role of AI in literary translation and its potential to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps. The paper highlights the potential challenges and considerations associated with augmented creativity, reviews the current state of research, and offers recommendations for further studies in this domain.

Abstract

This research paper explores the capabilities and limitations of various AI models in translating Polish literary texts into English. The study examines the impact of different prompt settings on translation output, focusing on the creativity, accuracy, and correctness of AI-generated texts. The aspect of creativity in the generated texts is analysed through the application of creative shifts as proposed by Bayer-Hohenwarter. By evaluating translations generated by diverse AI models with varied prompts, this research aims to provide insights into the role of AI in literary translation and its potential to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps. The paper highlights the potential challenges and considerations associated with augmented creativity, reviews the current state of research, and offers recommendations for further studies in this domain.
