The weird poetry Google Translate writes when fed the same characters over and over

Into Afrikaans and back becomes:

“Listen to the punitive command, HAL.”
“I’m sorry, Dave, I can not do that.”

And round again:

“Listen to the criminal order, HAL.”
“I’m sorry, Dave, I can not do that.”

Notice how the machine is only mangling the human text (mostly)!
