Regarding the matter of what AI does to people and their jobs in general, and translators in general, here's a text I wrote a few weeks ago on the topic:

Good morning. 🌻

My fight to keep my fully human, no-AI translation business alive is still going.

I translate. I teach. I work with actual words, actual context, actual people. No algorithmic word soup. No “close enough” machine sludge. No AI slop wearing a little business suit.

What would help right now is a little support with my running costs while I keep fighting to make this work.

If you’d like to support a tiny human business refusing to let AI eat its lunch, you can do that here:

Every coffee helps keep the lights on, the servers running, and one stubborn human translator at work. 💜

I would be genuinely, ridiculously happy to land a translation contract or two. 🥹

My target languages are English and German, my source languages are diverse (🇫🇷🇮🇹🇪🇸🇷🇴🇳🇱🇹🇼), and I do good old-fashioned human translation.

No AI slop.
No “just post-edit what the machine spat out.”
Just careful, thoughtful, proper human work. 📚✨

So if you need a translator…

Hi. Hello. I’m right here. 👋💜

If you ever see a #translation that's unclear or confusing, don't always assume the #translator is bad. It could just be that they lost the battle.

Ask me how I know. 😳

I generally make it a point of pride to advocate for readers of my translations—almost to a fault. But sometimes, you just have to throw up your hands and say, so be it.

In 22 working days, you won't have this guy to kick around anymore (but who's counting).
