Can AI usefully ‘translate’ Kierkegaard provisionally if given a method - and the results are flagged and bracketed as AI generated?

I recently experimented with this option at www.worksoflovesk.org

The aim is to increase accessibility and trigger discussion, while recognising that the gold standard is, and always will be, human scholarly translation.

Interpretations of Kierkegaard vary widely yet Kierkegaard says this of his authorship:

"Perhaps someone is amazed when he has read these books, but no one more that I when I turn around now (after having been an author for approximately seven years and just as if in one breath) and look at what has been accomplished and with almost a shiver of amazement see that the whole thing is actually only one thought, something I quite clearly understand now, although in the beginning I had not expected to go on being an author for so many years, nor did I have such a grand objective. Philosophically, this is a movement of reflection that is described backward and is first understood when it is accomplished."

This forum will function as a venue for the activity of making sense of Kierkegaard.
