I tested chatgpt when it launched with my obscure native language which is spoken by maybe 6 million people, and certainly isnt easy to learn nor elegant in design and doesnt have much common with English.
It was absolutely flawless, to the level of accentuations and little quirks that no tool before even came close.
Parent is plain wrong and doesnt have a clue... thats what happens when folks skip on learn foreign languages, the most important thing for life you can learn at school. Actively using multiple languages literally increases brain plasticity, much better than running ie sudoku or similar brain teasers endlessly
