Yes and no Feb 23

Yes, of course, translators have already seen a drop in their income because of the way AI has been implemented by some operators in the translation profession. But it's those operators, not the AI, that have reduced the translators' incomes.

In a divided world, yes, it will reduce. In a world with free and massive as never the flows of information, the constant problem will be 'God, may you finally give us the true AI to translate at least part of the flow'.
