Powerful AI systems like GPT-4 are not going to replace large swathes of professional workers, as many have instinctively feared. But they will put them under greater pressure to be more productive and faster at what they do. They will raise the bar on what is considered acceptable output and usher in an era of ultra-efficiency unlike anything we have seen before.

That is what partly happened to professional translators and interpreters. As artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as Google Translate and DeepL grew in popularity among business customers, many translators feared they would be replaced. Instead, they were expected to increase their output.

Much of this is typical of the march of technology. Smartphones allowed us to be connected to work at all times. Messaging app Slack allowed us to communicate with more people inside a company, more seamlessly. But such tools also kept us further chained to work, squeezing out minutes in the day that workers might have used in the past for contemplation, strategic thinking or just taking a breather.
