'The quality of translations across the board, from video games to corporate communiques stands to decline, with AI output, according to interviewees, often being homogeneous, blind to local details, or flat-out wrong.'
“I find it disheartening that instead of a society that once valorized translators as intercultural communicators and professionals who could uphold a bilingual society, we're flattening culture with AI systems that don't allow for a more organic exchange between languages.”
AI Killed My Job: Translators
Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.

Many interesting testimonies about translators' working conditions going downhill in recent years are emerging around this post. Worth keeping an eye on them if you are a researcher too.
I'm preparing to publish the next installment of AI Killed My Job. This time, the focus will be on translators.

AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces.
AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse.
This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.
