Anonymized quotes from reports

I also pivoted to email marketing but recently got fired and replaced with AI. Feeling stuck again.

Harlequin France is firing its human translators and replacing them with AI. The publishing giant is cutting translation staff in favor of automated AI translation.

One day they said they no longer needed us real translators. They now ask their editors to proofread/edit AI's crappy translations. The quality dropped significantly but they don't care.

All they said was, "We won't be needing freelancing translators anymore." AI, of course. These agencies used to beg us to work for them.
