in pokopia, you play as a ditto, a pokémon with the ability to take on the appearance of other pokémon, but with a distinct tell that it's not really that other pokémon.
you can name your character anything you want. i went with "lynne", obviously.
the other pokémon refer to you as "ditto" until you max out their friendship level. then they'll call you your actual name.
now, i know this would never happen, because nobody would name their kid this... and because this is the internet, i want to be exceptionally clear that i am joking and do not consider this to be a legitimate concern, but consider: what if your deadname was ditto and the only way to get pokémon to accept your identity was to befriend them by plying them with gifts and berries and only then would they say "oh you know what, you're so nice i'm gonna call you that other name you keep insisting on"??? 😭

It will be a long time before AI can do real interpretation because so much is context dependent, and requires a knowledge of the culture/ethnicity . Certainly in person interpretation services.
As for secretaries, automation has already affected them, by moving many tasks to their bosses! Soon the bosses will have no secretaries and will be spending al their time making their AI try to perform secretarial tasks. Believe me, I have worked in IT and know that 99% of the bosses (and programmers) don't know what their secretaries do. And I have seen how things like automated calendars moved the work to the managers.
But I never thought management or programmers particularly savvy, and sometimes they aren't even smart.

in reply to Lynnesbian • • •also i only just realised this when looking up the wikipedia article to link for the above post: it's actually called "Pokémon Pokopia".
in a way that makes total sense -- every* pokémon spinoff is called "pokémon something" -- but it's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it?
not nearly as bad as Nintendo 2DS Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS Bundle, of course, but still.
*i am distinctly aware of the possibility that there is at least one pokémon spinoff that isn't called "pokémon something". please do not reply with counterexamples unless your post contains a delightfully naïvely optimistic poster-worthy art piece from BYTE magazine (example). that way you get to pedantically correct me, and i get a potential wallpaper for my laptop/phone. win-win!
