Sounds like the use of LLMs in translation that has been going on since a couple of decades. It can speed up the process - it doesn't replace translators.

It's funny that they tried, 2-3 years ago, introduce AI to the translation industry as something different than the machine translation (MT) we were already using. The scam worked for a while - the industry suddenly was completely dead, I went for manual labour so I could eat, while translation agencies grappled with making the shitrobot behave like a professional linguist, getting shit results obviously. Now they've come to the conclusion that AI is just a worse version of the good old MT and translation jobs have started to reappear like mushrooms after the rain.

I do expect the same to happen in the software industry. Once CEOs have understood that AI isn't much better than the already existing predictive typing things will return to normal.

    I left tech this year after 10+ accomplished years in industry because AI has perverted it to a disgusting degree. I still have personal projects and try to maintain professional engineering standards, but refuse to let AI touch any of my stuff.

    I hope those CEOs realize that if they want their old workers to return, they're going to have to offer a looooooot more money
