    Same thing for translation. They replaced us with AI and ask us to proofread and correct the mess for 1/4 the price. I stopped my translation career over this.

    “more will come”. never underestimate hungry star eyed folks. Look at Grammarly - they’ve been throwing people on the streets for the last three years showing zero loyalty to longterm employees and then replacing them with cheaper newbies over and over. And that after hoarding literally any NLP talent to make competition non-existent - so for NLP folks in Ukraine it means they have nowhere to go outside of military sector which is its own can of worms. Meanwhile Grammarly just keeps on pivoting to AI coding then hiring folks to clean the mess to pivot again.

    Good point, I’ll be up front about only replacing vibe code, not debugging it.
