I'm bilingual and this absolutely baffles me. AI translation is not at the level of a human translator at all. It's inept at deducing context or at handling slang, regionalisms, or ambiguity.

I do translations routinely and I tried AI tools. It's such garbage for anything except basic stuff that I prefer to start from scratch.
