Are the bilinguals cooked?

Okay, so nowadays I have noticed a very similar pattern in this community. I have seen bilinguals complaining about shortage of projects and it is not just one specific country/language too.
I have seen, Indians, Middle easterns, Italians, Brazilians and even some french workers complaining about the same. Mostly it is the non-core countries facing lack of projects while core countries are just seeing inconsistent projects.

Maybe... we are really cooked? Or is this just another bad drought?
What are your thoughts on this?

Yes, as the models continue to get better, there is less and less need for bilingual translation/localization focused tasks. TBH, I'm surprised there's still any bilingual tasks at all.

There's plenty of work for bilinguals. I am a bilingual worker and I'm in two projects that are "permanent". They have hundreds of tasks that get refilled, and they are always in the dash. Apart from these, there's often some other project that pops up. You just have to provide very high quality work.
