They feared that GPT-2 could break all Spam filters.
And tbh do you prefer companies not taking anything serious?
Opus 4.5 def changed a lot already, GenAI changed a lot.
Certain jobs are gone. Do you think the person who was translating text doesn't deserve to be taken serious?
I haven't written code in a few month now and the quality of these coding agents is not getting worse, they are getting better.
All of this is transformable and we just started. GPT-3 came out in 2020 and public got access to it only 2022.
The last 4 years do not feal like 4 years and we are still progressing.
We have to also ask us as a society what is happening to young people. Even if we accept that we still hire juniors, they themselves have to completly rethink how they learn and how they work.
No jobs are gone. The bottom, low-quality, gig economy end of some jobs may have been impacted.
Human translation is still very much a business. No lawyer or diplomat who wants to keep their job, no manufacturer of heavy machinery or medication who wants to stay in the market and not get sued, is going to use an LLM instead of a professional translator. Ask people in the business. The demamd is fine. They aren't building their revenue on translations for Joe's ice cream parlour website or private letters.
In any industry, there is at least a decently sized segment where it matters a lot that the work is actually done correctly and someone can vouch and be liable for it.
