I am for hiring people who know the language and the target audience. Mainly to avoid AI taking away possible jobs and to avoid something literally translated that either doesn’t make sense or ends up being offensive by accident.
You will never ever in any case be able to stop technology from progressing. Instead of fearing the loss of jobs, how about making sure that we can properly handle and integrate AI into our society with everyone benefitting from it?
Stop the defeatist attitude, get politically active and help kick conservatives and fascists into the ditch where they belong.
As long as money’s involved, there’s no way AI tech benefits society.
That kinda shit will only benefit the wealthy and the owning classes.
Might as well go back to the fields the with all the other Luddites then.
We live in a capitalist society, every bit of progress benefits the rich first. It’s always been like that, it has nothing to do with the AI part.
Unless, you know, it’s properly regulated and stuff. Regulation works through laws. Laws are passed by the government. The government is elected by the people.
So get the proper people into government.
And controlled by the wealthy. You don’t really think your local representative cares what you think, do you? Because that would be laughably naive.
They care what their lobbyists and major donors think.
That’s naive and delusional. At least in the USA, there’s no chance of such regulations coming about, regardless of who is put in power. The RNC and DNC both are far more swayed by the money of those eliminating their work force than the plight of the worker. That isn’t changing any time soon.
I’ll eat my hat if they pass a law that actually protects workers and bans use of AI to replace human jobs.
And now refer back to my first comment, let that defeatist attitude go, and work on getting those things changed. If you were right, we’d still be living under kings and owning classical slaves ;)
I’m not saying it’s easy or quick, I’m saying that your thinking makes it reality because you just accept getting assfucked… Which is exactly “their” goal.
Yeah, we do so well with all the other pressing issues Americans have been facing for the last 40 years like health care, child care, mass transportation, financial mobility, job security, labor rights, income inequality…
Exactly, so just spread your asscheeks and accept it!
Just throwing this in here because it reminded me of it.
If it was feasible to do that we would’ve been doing it already.
An AI makes to cost effective to translate audio for an audience of just a few people.
In cases where it has been cost effective to pay a translator in the past I expect it will continue to be so. I’m aware that AI generated audio is pretty good, but translations are often pretty poor.
