GPT's performance in non-trivial translation tasks is unbelievable. all those articles mentioning jobs that are going to be replaced fail to mention translators are probably going to be the first.
You need the translators to QA the output from GPT. It's less work but not much less, and more types of translation work becomes feasible when leveraging GPT. I'm guessing the job market for translators will grow, not decline.
