I really don't see why that would necessarily be true. Any task that can be done by a human with a keyboard and a telephone is at risk of being done by an AI - and that includes the task of "translation and verification".

Sure, but at the risk of running into completely unforeseen and potentially catastrophic misunderstandings. We humans are wired to use human language to interact with other humans, who share our human experience, which AIs can only imperfectly model.

I have to say I don't feel this huge shared experience with many service industry workers. Especially over the phone. We barely speak the same language!

The power doesn’t stay on solely from people with keyboards and phones.
