We all know what it takes, which is translate the script. And that's what this project isn't doing if it's using AI. The rest is romhacking. Unfortunately, there's always been more romhackers then translators.
I have no ill will against the guy, personally. I'm just disappointed. If he wants to do a AI translation, he can, although I believe projects like this should always be labelled as AI so people don't waste their time. A AI translation from Japanese does not work well enough to result in a good project, so I don't really care if it gets dropped either.
"No you have to take Japanese lessons for 5 years then move there so you can really learn it before you can say AI translations are bad even though it's obvious from the English results!!!" is not a good argument.
