re. GT relies on people submitting better translations than the ones it has come up with
essentially, it's one of the tools (crowdfunding), and no serious translator would do that, because they have bills to pay and to do that they have to work. For money, not for the sense of achievement (never mind the feeling you're undermining your own future). So yes, 10 million monkeys will produce some results. It won't be of high class, but how many people want to struggle with Chaucer, or even contemporary literature? BO-RING! Simplify, dumb down, optimize, outsource your brain! Playing 1st person shooter is so much more fun than climbing pesky language constructions.
