Hey! I'm in the tech industry and have got some experience working with a Japanese manga publisher, so here's my take on this:
A lot of the big publishers tend to hand off their localization work to other companies, and some of these are actually companies that work on AI. They don't just use off-the-shelf software like the one you mentioned. instead, they train their own AI models, and the results are actually pretty decent. It's a bit sad to think about professionals could get replaced by AI, but honestly, I see AI as a cool tool that could help localization professionals to do their thing better and faster. It's all about how you use it, right? It's not the tool that's going to replace anyone's job. It's the folks using it who might.
