Job description

Overview

Russian trips AI on structure it cannot fake: six cases, verb aspect, and agreement that has to hold across a whole sentence. It also misses when ty or vy is called for and reaches for wording that parses but reads plainly translated, which is exactly what a native speaker notices.
