French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

As a child human female I was a member of the boy scouts after girl guides kicked me out. I loved boy scouts and I was not the only cis girl there. Boys were also allowed in my girl guides but I only remember one signing up.
It's not about safety. It's about control. No one believes otherwise.
