A former developer at Warhorse Studios alleges he was fired from his translator role yesterday and will be replaced by AI.

You can't replace a translator with AI. It has to be AI + a human to fix the crappy AI output. Guess what ends up being cheaper? I didn't change careers, and they're hiring translators again. Bubble is bursting.

Let me guess: they'll release the game with broken translations, on the same level as "all your bases are belong to us"*, players will shit on those translations, and then they'll either give up translating their other games altogether, or they'll re-hire a human translator. The end.

*or more like the inverse. Large models tend to behave like a human translator who isn't proficient in the source language; AYBABTU was likely the result of someone proficient in the source, but not in the target.

Idiotic decisions like this will haunt AI for years, even if it eventually lives up to its promise. That’s fine with me.

@BrikoX oh hai! we totally didn’t see this shit coming! 🙃

Another reason to not buy the game.
