If you live in an Anglophone country you already don't need to do so, although there will probably be cultural value to do so indefinitely. I love learning languages but ultimately it's for fun and to make friends and it's such a time commitment...

#7> It shocks me that I can hear my voice when reading the translation.
For me, this phenomenon with Copilot and a decade old codebase where I was the only contributor was unlike anything I'd experienced.
It's one thing to see other people's thoughts reshaped by AI, but when it's your own thinking it's a very eerie feeling.
Maybe only happens 10-15% of the time, but when it does it's uncanny.

#8I did a very quick trial of this with a post I did in English. I don't speak Spanish so am not the best judge for sure but when I translated it to Spanish then back to English it was nearly flawless. Much better, in this same manner, than Google Translate.

#9> And fear about the potential AI has to make everybody lazy, no longer willing to do things as hard as learning a new language.
GPT-4 is also an invaluable help in learning a new language. You can use it as a tutor, explore topics you don't understand well enough, ask it to write texts tailored exactly for your level and vocabulary.

#10It's insane to me much how much better GPT-4 is than Papago at Korean, and Papago was the gold standard for Korean translation for quite some time. It also performs much better than DeepL in Korean.
