in couple years human translators will be pretty useless, in sense that AI will do the job same or better but it knowing more languages will still be valuable skill in general to better yourself or if you want to speak normally with native speakers, it always makes other people glad when foreigner speak with them in their language

It won't make translators useless. You likely have never read a translated work, it's not an easy job.

of course I have read a LOT of translated text, english is not my first language

and yes it will, maybe I could use better term obsolete, how would they be needed when AI can translate better, cheaper and much faster? its same with any other task in which humans will be outperformed
