Diary - Today, I told my English teacher that I want to be a translator.

This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

Today, I told my English teacher that I want to be a translator. She asked me if I was afraid of being replaced by AI. I'm not afraid, instead, I'm happy that they could replace me. Maybe I can do the proofread part. Although many things have been computerised for decades, I still had a lot of work to do (I just quit my job). Therefore, I hope AI development will make progress faster and relieve humans' workload.

Nowadays, AI can be used to do proofreading.

They aren't completely correct, at least at this stage.

Although many things have been computerised for decades, I still had have a lot of work to do (I just quit my job).

Before quitting my job, I had a lot of work to do. I want to express I used to have a lot of work to do.

Is it better to say "Although many things have been computerised for decades, I still had a lot of work to do in the past (I just quit my job)"?

I would reword the second sentence thusly:

She asked if I was afraid that all the translator jobs would be replaced by AI.

(Why are your first and last sentences always perfect? )

Next perhaps:

I'm not worried about that.

Well, computer programs can't understand nuance.

I would make a new paragraph after that.

It's a bit odd to say you had work to do while you were working.

You seem to be saying at the end that you hope AI replaces people.

I want to express that AI or computers are not strong enough currently, so I still had a lot of work to do (I just quit my job. I had a lot of work when I did the job). Therefore, I want them to develop to a higher level to help human.

@Maybo Perhaps:

I meant to say that AI (or computers in general) is not smart enough to replace people. I want them to become more sophisticated so they can free people from having to do those jobs.

I probably have that wrong.
