What a refreshing perspective on #AI #LLM (anecdotally applicable also to #MT use) Think about COGNITIVE DEBT and which resources you might have to repay it to avoid brain erosion! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ods…

#AIinfluencer: taken from FT: advert with virtual influencer Kuki reached 11 times more people and resulted in a 91 per cent decrease in cost per person remembering the advert, compared with a traditional ad. How do authenticity, intent and trust fit into this?

"#Translators as authors?" "Obsolete" - I have heard. "Embrace tech to become a QA evaluator of mistakes made by #MT / #AI... to improve MT" and cut our costs and forget about your critical-creative talent. #goodenough is apparently sold as exciting. I ask myself, for whom?

#Translators: robbed of #copyrights - by unpaid assignment or simple theft of copy. Doubly taxed through #publicFunding of AI texting tools. Paying for #AITtools to improve own productivity to compensate for rate cuts. Producing more mediocre copy used to feed #AI. Full circle.

The Economist asks "What will #AI mean for your pay?" US Data are out for the #translation industry, where AI applications have a long story: -30 % in real hourly #wage. Which incentives are there to retain top talent and avoid a downward averaging of quality? does it matter?

what happened to the @Treccani website? it used to be a pleasure to navigate. now virtually impossible, succumbed to adverts everywhere that really make it difficult to read definitions and synonyms. And it is impossible to use a no advert browser.

In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence… But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us… and those…

Ever though why the concept of #humanInTheLoop gained traction? The human is crucial, either for training the machine, for interpreting its results, or for applying discretion and qualitative analysis. Why don't we change it to #machineintheloop ? Let's stay #human focussed
