Unless the process has changed in the last decade, article translations are a multi-step process, which includes translators and proof-readers. It's easier to get volunteer proof-readers than volunteer translators. Adding AI for the translation step, but keeping the proof-reading step should be a great help.
Have you ever used Google translate? Putting an entire Wikipedia article through it and then "fine tuning" it would be more work than translating it from scratch. Absolutely no comparison between Google translate and AI translations.
That depends on if you are capable of translating the language if you don't know the language then the translator will give you a good start.
If you don't know the language then you shouldn't be involved in the translation at all... The current process requires both the translators and the proof-readers to know the language.
