I get the gist of this article, which is that the outcome for translators "may include being replaced by LLMs, diminished skills, and fewer career options for all but the elite scholars."

The promise of AI is that everybody will be able to understand other languages. That's good, isn't it? We will continue to need people who specialize in translation - maybe even more, now that everybody is using the service - but they will be well-educated high-paid professionals.
