Here's an anecdote for you:

Recently I needed a couple payslips translated from German to English and then certified. Google Translate can translate, but cannot certify.

Professional licensed translator took significant amount of money and sent me a document for review with most numbers somehow mixed up. It took days of back and forth over the email for them to fix it.

ok - but a translator with certification is available to replace the one that made a mistake. Their guild exists.. The recourse and legal weight of the Google Translate service are very different. You can't compare the two fully without context.
