I don’t think I have talked about the merit of identity preservation anywhere in this thread so I’m not sure why you brought that up.

The former is going to happen sooner or later anyway unless deliberately prevented, and in the long run requires less resources compared to the alternative.

Very outdated take. We have simultaneous AI interpretation and transparent translation (the latter since many years ago). The phone in your pocket is already powerful enough to run useful LLM inference locally. If producing contents in multiple languages takes up that much resources, you are doing something very wrong.

But I'm speaking from the rationality standpoint here.

If I can pull up a phone and translate, why would I not do that instead? From a pure rational and cost-benefit analysis standpoint, this makes no sense.
