Have you tried reading through an AI translated VN and see how good it did?

No, but I have ample reason not to trust them. AI is going to dramatically improve machine translation, but I don't think we're at the point where you can just sit back and rely on it yet. And the kind of people who put out MTL patches frankly don't put the effort in to make sure the computer got it right; they think that all they have to do is change a few words where the output is obviously wrong, and that's good enough. Now, once we have more specialized linguistic AI, which can infer things from context instead of blindly guessing, then it'll be worth looking at.
