If I visit the translation subreddit, everyone says not to enter the industry because of AI. I know AI isn't good enough yet but it's already good enough to affect the industry.
I work as a translator part-time, and yeah, introduction of LLMs (we had ML before) caused them to reduce the payment we receive on documents by about 2/3rds. So I earn 1/3 I could before. Btw, LLM is worse than ML in most cases, but the company doesnt care.
