not gonna lie it’s hard to be like “yay artists standing up for themselves” when you see artists fighting against machine learning and artifical intelligence but you’re a translator who has been fighting (and losing) countless battles of artifical intelligence taking over your specific field of work while no one gives a shit

#like good for you for fighting back #but i wish this energy would've been there in 2016 #and also i wish there was some nuance to the arguments ppl bring #because i've been forced to see AI as something completely neutral by advancements in my profession #meanwhile it's ACTIVELY taking away jobs in translation but no one cared! because now shit is cheap and big companies can get away with it #with outsourcing and proofreading and not hiring translators anymore #meanwhile AI is getting fed with thousands of post-edited texts that will eventually decrease quality in automated translations #WHICH WILL DIRECTLY IMPACT THE LANGUAGE WE SPEAK #and no one cares!!!!#i am . crying.#its all going downhill!#and the same thing is gonna happen to art AND WE TOLD YOU THIS #BUT NONE OF YALL LISTENED #because no one gives a shit about translators!!!!!!!!!#WE PREDICTED THIS EIGHT YEARS AGO #because it happened to us and it WILL happen to you!!!!#anyway rant over i'm done!
