Those who chose right to which other profession to move have a fairly good chance of increasing their income.

These 'nuances' aside ... does water flow uphill?

Yes and no Feb 23

Why are "Yes" and "No" not among the possible answers?

In any case, my answer is "Other", because AI, on its own, will not and cannot "do" anything. AI has no volition. It cannot, on its own, make decisions or perform actions that affect anybody's income, either translators' or other professions'.

Yes, of course, translators have already seen a drop in their income because of the way AI has been implemented by some operators in the translation profession. But it's those operators, not the AI, that have reduced the translators' incomes.

A teaspoon is equally dangerous to the world water reserves.
In a divided world, yes, it will reduce. In a world with free and massive as never the flows of information, the constant problem will be 'God, may you finally give us the true AI to translate at least part of the flow'.
