I would think a translator would be needed to communicate with ordinary humans at some point.

I find ChatGPT and grok3 to be useful tools. I still enjoy human languages and engage Duolingo daily to sharpen by German proficiency. I've completed the Welsh course and have Gaelic, Spanish, French and Italian in progress. All useful in the right context.

I don't ever want to become tightly connected to AI such that my own personality is lost.

I did a year subscription of Duolingo to learn Czech. It kept repeating the most ridiculous phrases about sheep, donkeys and goats. One phrase was “We are looking for a big donkey and a large machine.” In what fricking situation would I ever need to know that sentence? I just wanted to learn how to get to the metro station or order at a restaurant and the damn thing kept talking about animals that I never even saw when I was last there.
