      Even before this ai surge, you’d use auto-translation and then hire a local speaker (well below minimum wage)to edit. The translator was only for the final edit. Saved lots of money. My mum saw her income go from 120k to around 20k over the 2000s and 2010s (Japanese exchange rate didn’t help).

      I can only assume it gets worse, but she’s retiring.
