  • this might have psychological implications for us far more than is already the case with VR. Now we can resurrect the dead, mirror the mannerisms and thought patterns - that is just going to be plain weird
  • there will be massive productivity gains  .. I think this is the step that really does unleash unbounded productivity and frees us from the "shackles of labor" BUT
  • that will imply massive social realignment. We evolved over millions of years competing over scarce resources.. that particular branch of the evolutionary tree may have just come to an end. scarcity will become micromanaged. risk will change its meaning.
  • the distribution of wealth suddenly takes on a whole new significance.. who is going to benefit from the newly created abundance? Will it be even possible to patent proprietary rights, when the machines do 99% of the creating? Will that even mean anything? 
  • will we as a species adjust to abundance or just die of boredom?  "Hey bot, re-engineer the sabre tooth tiger."

That is the situation that all businesses face right now, and it's a bit of a chicken and egg.  It's very hard to find financial, tax, and accounting staff who are interested in "knowing" the rules and reasons.  They want the answers.  Quickly.  As easy as possible.  Maybe the biggest change isn't work ethic, so much as a total loss of inquisitive nature.   Why or how doesn't matter...just what.

For now, more senior staff can fill in the holes and avoid the breakage, but that's going to end soon.  When nobody understands why things were done, how will they ever adapt to the constantly changing universe?  

It may all end up OK, because when they can't explain things (like the US tax code), maybe they just start over and by default remove all of the subtle problems that have built up over time, but it's a huge risk.

As negative as I and others can be about AI and its use, it is an amazingly exciting time to be working.   I've lived through the migration from analog to digital in finance, and wish I could stick around long enough to fix some of the legacy issues.   Change can't come fast enough, as I probably only have 10 or 15 years left to play.

I was just having a discussion with my business partner about this very topic, albeit in a slightly different context.  Content has been the proxy for value in a lot of professions for a long time.  The best content won.  Picture quality. Sound quality.  Research details.  Quality (as you say) was king, and an acceptance of lower quality was done as a concession for other realities, primarily cost.

Now, it's more about the experience.  The ease of consumption, the integration (of everything), the universal availability of what I want, when I want it, wherever I want it.  The vast majority of users will surrender accuracy for the experience.   Thinking less is better than having to work harder, especially when so many don't know the difference between the right and wrong answers.
.
As for language, I'd suggest that it's one of the basic knowledge categories that people look for answers to.  Chair.  It's an object with pretty much a universal definition. Multiple legs, often with a back, used for sitting.  I typed "what is the word for chair in the 10 most popular languages on the planet" into Bard just now...and it returned this..
  1. Mandarin Chinese: 椅子 (yǐzi)
  2. Spanish: silla
  3. English: chair
  4. Hindi: कुर्सी (kūrsē)
  5. Arabic:เก้าอี้ (ghiyā’)
  6. Portuguese: cadeira
  7. Russian:椅子 (yézya)
  8. Japanese: 椅子 (isō)
  9. German: Stuhl
  10. French: chaise
Impressive, but basic.  Sentence structure is more complex, but still relatively simple, as the rules are fixed.  Would you give directions to your hotel using a free app to translate...sure.  Would you buy a house or take a job after translating the contracts using a free tool?  Probably not.  It's a matter of risk/reward, and that kind of complex decisioning will take a very long time to program.  

The human brain is an amazingly complex system, that we still don't quite understand completely.  We can automate some of the basic tasks and heavy lifting, but decision-making for critical issues is a long, long, way off.  At least in my (quite possibly very simple) mind.   Quality has lost ground to speed recently, but the pendulum will swing and people will want assurance of quality for the things they value enough to pay for.


You would be surprised how good some of the machine translations are getting. I also  long thought contextual based translation would be one step too far for a machine, but I was wrong. They are surprisingly good at it. In fact, they are frequently better than human translators. And getting better.

Talking of contracts I recently did a purchase contract for an American selling his apartment here and we decided to run it through DeepL and I'd tweak it a bit to make sure there were no gremlins in there.  Admittedly, I changed a lot, but it wasn't too far off being acceptable for his purposes. 
The biggest problem, as I see it,  is the associated dumbing down of the audience that you refer to. A lot of younger translators are now forced to use machine translations (for cost reasons) but they just don't see the mistakes the machine makes. So over time a wrong translation becomes standard. Likewise a lot of non-native speakers think, yeah, that's just what I wanted to say, but they don't get the cultural nuance or understand what is the right thing to say in a certain situation.  

I recently had one CEO wanting to thank the Chairman of the Supervisory Board (who was stepping down and was basically his boss) for "his cooperation", which is fine in German, as it is neutral, but in English it has a distinct whiff of "thanks for doing everything I told you to do" and IMO inappropriate. He ran it through DeepL and came back at me to say I was wrong.
So, yeah, great, whatever, dude, I thought.  Needless to say, that was one of the clients I lost. This guy is also kind of tone-deaf and the kind of non-native speaker who is convinced he has full mastery of the English language, so I'm not too unhappy to have lost his business. But the ironic thing is the Chairman of the Supervisory Board is also a non-native speaker and wouldn't have had any problem with the phrase, so it turns out the only person not on the same page is me.  In these situations, the machine is going to win.

The opposite happened. The market moved to compressed files and mp3, mainly because everyone could suddenly rip their own files making them basically free.  The same is now happening in my field. Machine translation can come up with some real clangers, but the translations are getting astonishingly better very rapidly. There comes a point when customers' quality expectations begin to fall in favour of something that is maybe not quite so good, but (almost) free.

And if something as complex as language can be handled, with all its nuance. I think it is only a question of time that it starts handling most other fields. All you need is a massive dataset, an ability to recognize patterns, apply logical arguments and mathematical probability models and hey presto, you've got something pretty damn close to the average brain.

Speed comes in many forms.  The ability to consume is now immense, but machines must be trained by humans for true AI.  The training speed is going to take time.  Google has the internet mapped, and the first few answers I got from Bard were fabricated crap.  

There is also a reality that content and mediation/training are quickly forming teams, and will charge more for focused knowledge.  Chat GPT might do an OK job translating, but I'm sure you have a favorite or two already.  You using those systems will train the datasets you have access to, but they won't improve translation for everyone.  The moats will get wider and the barriers to entry greater.

This year everyone will use as much as they can.  Soon, errors will begin to matter, and people will pull back from the blind acceptance of AI that's going on now.   We have entered the peak of inflated expectations per Gartner's Hype cycle....the trough of disillusionment awaits.
