The level of denial and delusion about the future of translation exhibited by many translators and even their organizations is truly impressive.
Many translators are wasting energy that could be better applied in efforts to find a survival path, which for most will not likely involve translation, and not even repair of AI-generated translation if they are not already financially independent or don’t need to eat or house themselves.
The post-editing task has been hyped by translation brokers and imagined by delusional translators as a more sophisticated role than “just translation.”
I call total bullshit on that and, in their hearts, most translators must realize that, but they can’t bring themselves to face it. 🪦
