John Henry vs. The Robots: A Comparison of Human and Machine
Translation" is just that: the first chapter of Mark Twains two
"Adventures of" books ("Tom Sawyer" and "Hucklberry Finn") in its
original English are presented along with several translations into
Spanish. These various and varied translations are used to show how
different manifestations of intelligence - real (human) and
artificial (computers) - produce different results. No commentary
is provided; the various translations are simply shown, one after
the other, without revealing who (or what) made the translation.
The reader must decide which translation s] is/are "best." At the
end of both sections ("Tom Sawyer" and "Hucklberry Finn"), a
"Translation Key" is given, showing who made the translation. The
"robots" (machines) are represented by google and bing; translators
from around the world make up the human army arrayed against the
machines. In case you like the human translations, and want to
reach out to the translators, their contact information is
provided.
