Bio
I'll probably go away from this place in the next few months as it isn't a place for PROFESSIONAL HUMAN translators anymore.
ProZ is so caught up in the AI hype that even the design has been AI-enshittified and doesn't work anymore; things you see on one page disappear when you refresh or don't show on the public setting. The old interface allowed users to do things that the "next" AI-enshittified new interface doesn't offer. This means that in the "next" AI-enshittified new website, there are fewer possibilities to customize your profile information. Therefore, the update is just pure AI crap that downgrades the user experience.

So, on and on, the excess of AI on this site makes it harder to use; it isn't even slop, it's far worse, it's a giant piece of AI crap, with even fake profiles posting bullshit on the forum.
It used to be a great, useful site before the pandemic; now it's just untrustworthy AI garbage.

Hopefully, I'm allowed to use the term AI enshittification and its derivatives without any ignorant "moderator" blocking or censoring me.
NOBODY from ProZ seems to know anything about linguistic research or translation studies, and that's another cause to leave this website, which is seriously infested with AI bullshit.
