Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Sounds like the use of LLMs in translation that has been going on since a couple of decades. It can speed up the process - it doesn't replace translators.
It's funny that they tried, 2-3 years ago, introduce AI to the translation industry as something different than the machine translation (MT) we were already using. The scam worked for a while - the industry suddenly was completely dead, I went for manual labour so I could eat, while translation agencies grappled with making the shitrobot behave like a professional linguist, getting shit results obviously. Now they've come to the conclusion that AI is just a worse version of the good old MT and translation jobs have started to reappear like mushrooms after the rain.
I do expect the same to happen in the software industry. Once CEOs have understood that AI isn't much better than the already existing predictive typing things will return to normal.
I left tech this year after 10+ accomplished years in industry because AI has perverted it to a disgusting degree. I still have personal projects and try to maintain professional engineering standards, but refuse to let AI touch any of my stuff.
I hope those CEOs realize that if they want their old workers to return, they're going to have to offer a looooooot more money
