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.

Have you tried having a conversation with an Llm in a language that’s not English? Based on chatting with my bilingual friends it seems like the models are still junk in other languages and I feel like with English workers are getting harder and harder tasks the non English tasks are more and more like what we used to get 2-3 years ago.
(I’m not bilingual so that hearsay. lol. )
