Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com Sept. 7, Gizmodo parent company G / O Media recently issued an announcement that its Spanish sub-website Gizmodo en Espa ñ ol fired all editors and journalists and switched to artificial intelligence to automatically translate English reports into Spanish.

Matt í as S. Zavia, a former editor of Gizmodo en Espa ñ ol, posted on the X platform that artificial intelligence had taken his job, confirming that the company had launched layoffs on August 29. The tweet said @ GizmodoES had been shut down and became a translation self-help publisher.

CTOnews.com Note: the Gizmodo website, founded in 2002, focuses on topics such as design, technology, science and science fiction.

However, the transition of Gizmodo en Espa ñ ol is not perfect so far, and some users have noticed that some of the articles have not been fully translated and will appear in English in Spanish.

The newly published article on Gizmodo en Espa ñ ol now includes a disclaimer indicating that the content has been automatically translated and that minor differences may occur due to the complexity of machine translation.
