If your only skillset is being a translator, you shouldve been looking to switch careers a decade ago. AI or no AI, technology was bound to replace this role eventually. Im surprised it took this long.
I swear, the sheer amount of dumb shit I read in Lemmy makes me think this place is a true Reddit replacement. Even in its worst aspects.
Have you ever tried to translate anything more complex than a single paragraph? No, you didn’t, otherwise you wouldn’t be assuming “tech iz replacin translturz lmao”. Do it. By machine and then by hand. Then compare both things; even an amateur can pull out something way better than any machine translator does, provided the amateur in question is proficient in both source and target languages. Then re-read your own comment and enjoy facepalming at yourself.
AI translator can’t even handle two-line memes half the time. Because you need deep understanding of the culture and the context even for simplest jokes to be translated appropriately - if it’s even possible to convey it close enough in another language.
If your only skillset was being a translator (or, in fact, any skill), you wouldn’t have posted a take this uninformed.

Nah, AI is fucking sentient bro. Any day now it’ll magically start understanding context, tone and sarcasm etc
