  So, nothing? Because you still need professional translators for creative works, plenty of writing simply doesn’t directly translate as it relies on culture-specific context that readers in other languages and countries don’t have. So you need someone who is well versed in both cultures to find an appropriate alternative for the translated work.

    90% of translation needs are from tourists in foreign nations. They are fulfilled via AI.

    AI art is the same. Instead of learning how to sing/play/draw over a period of years, just use AI to get to a good enough solution for far cheaper/free.

      If you have zero standards in your art and don’t want a connection with other people through art: sure.

      But people get bored by Marvel Movies quite quickly.

      “90% of translation needs…”

      confidently making an assertion that sounds plausible for a few seconds but turns out to be unsubstantiated bullshit. are you trying to steal an LLM’s job? 🙃

        How many creative works are created daily? Thousands?

        And how many tourists are in the entire world? Millions?

        I rest my case.
