C’est bien que ce verbatim circule, parce-que c’est la suite qui est intéressante (à partir de 48s) : un vrai discours chimiquement pur d’ordure, totalement hors sol, turbo libéral et sans aucune empathie Aucune surprise de la part de Clavier ceci dit, mais même venant de lui c’est effarant

If you notice something like this, flood the customer service with complaints. Demand better quality, i.e. human-made subtitles. We must show them that this is not acceptable & that the viewers DO notice when they are presented low quality. Let's not get used to 💩 like this 💪

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality. This is how AI is killing translation work:

AI Killed My Job: Translators
Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.

There is a sharp contrast between this approach to subtitling (a named subtitler taking pride in their work) and what I saw in the version of the film released in the UK, with no named subtitler and shoddy subtitles, often difficult to follow and with repeated typos.
