  Why should you learn to play the piano even though records of far greater virtuosos than you exist? A "thing" has value outside of its monetary commoditization. And if you really need a reason, there's growing evidence that bilingualism can help ward off neurocognitive disorders in one's old age.

  From a utilitarian viewpoint, I find that the Kurds, Croatians, Finns, Hungarians, Hebrew speakers, Tamilians, Malayalis, Hindi speakers come across appreciate it when I make an effort to use the little Kurmanji, Suomi, Magyar and Ivrit, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi that I know. More importantly languages are interesting ! I am back to working on my Finnish now and the grammar and sentences are fascinating !

  “Why do I need to know math when calculators exist?”. Because calculators do arithmetic, not maths. The same fallacies apply to AI. Language is subtly used for communication between humans.
