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.
They make and entertain millions
And people get bored of them.
the stats say otherwise
"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? ๐
How many creative works are created daily? Thousands?
And how many tourists are in the entire world? Millions?
I rest my case.
lol i take it back, even GPT-3.5 gives a better answer than you (although it does also refuse to cite any sources ๐)
It'd be awesome to live in a world where tourists are making efforts to speak the local language, but back here in reality they mostly just stick to tour guides who speak their language (and machine learning translation is pretty useless for tourism anyway) โ and as well as business meetings, you're forgetting politics and language education.
