I found out that translating is a joke these days because there is software that literally translates from the source language to the target language. I was astonished by how much the software can translate. This will make my life easier, but it is such a joke that I wonder who needs a general translator these days. I am becoming a specialized technical translator/ writer. Even this, eventually AI will one day be able to translate well enough without a need for human translators. I urge people not to become general translators since there won't be any jobs in it after a while. I would specialize in a technical field as I did. I can read in my source language too. But, one day translators won't be necessary: AI is here.

I am happy that AI is here nevertheless. Technology is helpful. Now, I will be able to take many projects. I will have to be good at editing. I feel lucky because there is a demand for my specialty. Otherwise, I would not even think about launching my search into finding a job in this area. Some people are afraid robots and/ or AI will replace them in their jobs. This fear is not unfounded in some areas.

I will make the most of my skills and time. I am older than most people. I won't be working in my chosen field for long since I don't expect to live past 100. Sometimes, being in the right place and the right time means something.

I just wanted to earn extra money to survive. I shall, as long as I can work. I feel grateful. But, I am shocked by the speed, technology is advancing. Who knows what's next? Robots as doctors and nurses? hmmm
