I mean, AI these days pretty much always refers to Large Language Models, so if there was anything AI should and could be good for I would damn well hope it was translation.

Like, AI gets used to make decisions, which it can’t do and only emulates the sensation of. But what it does, the only meaningful thing it does, is understand language. When companies stop shoving LLMs into every crevice what will be left are its genuinely good uses like in making subtitles or helping with accessibility.
