Not disagreeing at all but I am failing to see why this is "yikes"? Is it the idea of creating something as complex as intelligent as a human just to translate documents?

> why does an AI need to emulate full human intelligence and respond to prompts to call itself sentient in order to translate a document

I have absolutely zero experience with AI, machine learning, etc. but I feel like translating a document is something that having near-human intelligence would be very useful because of how much context is lost in translation. Is that incorrect, though?

Again, not disagreeing at all, I just want to iron out what is misconception on my part.

I think the problem is created sentience just to format a document. Nothing wrong with creating a sophisticated program to format a document. But once it haha actual sentience it seems wrong to the delegate it to just formatting a document
