| Abstract: | This article presents two experiments with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of creative translation, an English Studies course subject at Aix-Marseille University in France. The use of creative writing and translating exercises (culturally relocated texts, plurilingual writing, self-translation…), aims to enhance students' subjective appropriation of their second language and to help them develop their own style. The first experiment uses multilingual text embeddings for self-assessment of a translated text. The second uses generative AI, which produces text. Since we are interested in subjective appropriation of a second language, the article reflects on the kind of language AI uses, with reference to psycholinguistic theory. While generative AI produces rapid outcomes, creative translation teaching focuses on process--what if AI were harnessed as part of the process? The article suggests ways of building on current creative practice in translation teaching as we face the challenges of AI. |
