That’s great
Something concerning (not from a Luddite perspective, more from a lack-of-Universal Basic Income perspective) is 40% of translators have lost work to LLMs as of reporting from a few months ago. Highly technical folks haven’t much been bothered though. Wonder how this plays out ten years from now.
I noticed AI creeping in all WordPress translation plugins for a few months now.
Many are still in the new beta phase, but a lot launched full fledged AI translation.
It's also in most sitebuilders like elementor, wp-bakery and the likes by now.
It enables creating customized widgets, like combining an existing bullet list widget with an image widget or enhancing it with frontend editing.
Depending on how good and reliable this gets, it could wipe out this particular group of wordpress theme modders, which are quite a few.
Edit: there's one area in which AI is really welcome and job safe: creating copy text and images when building sites. It always looks better with content and sometimes it would take too much time to get a presentable website filled with dummy content by hand.
Now you define your theme in the prompt and the magic happens.
