Imagine training your replacement, knowing it will eventually take your job. That’s the reality for Turkish translators, who are fine-tuning [AI](https://www.thedigitalspeaker.com/ai-strategy-speaker/) models until those same models no longer need them. How long before AI stops learning from us and starts replacing us?
