I have a high (>90%) confidence that language barriers will become practically non-existent in the near future with AI advances. It is already technically possible, with apps or products that are able to translate spoken language in near real-time and LLMs that are:

- are becoming increasingly cheap to run due to technical advances
- are becoming increasingly popular, which means progressively using AI to translate will not look irresponsible and nerdy, but mainstream and available options and interfaces will increase.
