Capitalism was a mistake. All of this is just its flaws being taken to its logical extreme.
AI being used to translate stuff isn't a bad thing on its own, it's not severely damaging the careers and in many cases the lives of educated people just because it exists. It does so in the context of this system which hasn't really been working for a while and continues to fail. AI has its dangers regardless, for sure but it doesn't necessarily have to spelll doom in all the ways it has been.
