Would the newest Google translator give a good English version of Plato's work?

If the the original versions of Plato's work were translated into English by the newest computer translator of Google, would we get a faihful, true, verisimilar, body of English Plato? Will we be able to notice the fact that a computer translated? I've heard that the newest programs perform very well. I haven't used it yet but I remember that translations made me laugh quite often. Will fleshy translators always be needed? Maybe I should let Google translate this text to Greek, so I could see what comes out...
