AI translation screws up even doing basic translations let alone nuanced conversations. 

I use a free translator and I understand absolutely everything. Both on this site and on Polish, Russian, etc. sites. When I want to learn about the war in Ukraine, the best sites are in Eastern Europe.

I'm surprised you say they don't work. The only explanation I can think of is that the AI ​​doesn't translate well into English. Because he does it perfectly in Spanish.

In fact, I write my message in Spanish and do the translation into English with a free program. Don't you understand what I'm saying?

It works like shit in an actual conversation. If you want to get a rough idea of what someone is saying, sure but even then these programs still struggle to translate even a paragraph of text properly without errors, let alone being able to fluently translate an actual conversation between two people. 

In your message right there, there's several errors. 

I was using Google translate with an elderly neighbor and it was a complete pain in the ass and unnatural with the two of us having to phrase things differently like several times in just a short conversation, his 7 year old grandson was able to translate what we were saying back and forth like 10x better and faster. 

The technology can't even "think" at the level of a 6-7 year old child, which isn't terribly shocking because human beings don't even fully understand how the human brain works.
