FYI, I agree with you in all points. As I said in another comment, I wouldn't want to live in a world where everything was dubbed into my language. Any translation takes something away from the original. And dubbing even more so. I also believe that being exposed to a foreign language long before you ever make a concious attempt to learn it is important. I wouldn't think I'd succeed in teaching my toddler to say "Daddy" if he hadn't been listening to the rest of us speaking for many months before. I can see how this headline can make me seem like a bafoon of a dad. But I think I'm really not. :) When I watch The Anatomy Lab with my daughter, that's a time when I want our conversation to focus on how digestion works. Not on what the guy on the screen was saying just now. But of course there will also be times where I'll want our conversation to be about exactly that: What a foreign speaker just said. How those words come together. How the may have the same root as the words we use in German. Also, while AI has its place, I prefer to have these conversations with her myself.
