Ramsey Nasr over het boek dat hij schrijft als getuigenis voor zijn kind, om uit te leggen hoe we tot hier gekomen zijn. "Er ontstaat een generatie aan wie wij heel veel verantwoording verschuldigd zijn." #BarLaat
Dit gaat om vertalingen, maar same thing. Instant downgrade voor je merk. (Vermoed trouwens dat ze ook geen geld zullen uitgeven aan die nieuwe cover art als ze ook al geen vertaler willen betalen)
Happy International Translation Day! Today is an excellent day to support your favorite translator by buying their work, putting their name on the cover, paying them on time & fairly and not asking them to "edit" an AI generated text.
