Agree. That's a super useful thing LLMs can do. I'm still waiting for Mozilla to integrate Japanese and a few other (distant to me) languages into my browser. And it's a huge step up from Google translate. It can do (to a degree) proverbs, nuance, tone... There are a few things AI or machine learning can do very well. And outperform any human by a decent margin.
On the other hand, we're talking about general intelligence here. And translating is just one niche task. By definition that's narrow intelligence. But indeed very useful to have, and I hope this will connect people and broaden their (and my) horizon.
