My AI translation tool choked on a 3 page contract, took 4 hours to fix manually

I fed a vendor agreement into a neural translation API and it butchered every liability clause, so I had to redo the whole thing by hand in Atlanta, has anyone found a model that actually handles legal jargon without a meltdown?

Three vendors in the last month have told me the same thing about their AI tools, so you're not alone in this mess. The models are great at summarizing emails but fall apart when they hit words like "indemnification" or "severability", which is exactly when you need accuracy most. I honestly think we're a few years away from trusting these things with anything that has legal weight behind it, so manual review is just part of the job for now.
