[Uncle]

why didn't she complain when google translate started putting a lot of translators out of a job, is she going to commit to never use it?

Oh god, uncle, no.

A lot of niche game fans complain about companies using machine translations and being unreadable. Google translate is a tool but should not replace a good translator right now unless you want to be a cheap bastard. 

Also, Uncle, they were already a lot of translating machines before that. 

(And not, I’m not necessarily talking about that can of worms called localization)

I don't think you've been following the latest developments using AI to improve translation

and in any case, the point is not whether it replaces people effectively, but YOUR REACTION to that disruptive technology

you tool around using google translate casually for years, maybe getting through some vacations abroad with it, saying "gee this is kind of nice" without thinking of the broader context of the jobs it's killing, but then suddenly when another technology affects you personally, it's "tech can advance this far AND NO FURTHER"
