Does learning languages still make sense with AI?

A friend of mine asked me recently - "Why bother learning languages if we have good automatic translators? Soon there will be devices that even help you speak and listen in real time."

I get the point, but here’s how I see it -

• Social and business advantage - knowing a language gives you faster reactions and more natural conversations. E.g. You get an edge in negotiations instead of relying on a device.
• Personal enjoyment - reading books, watching movies, or listening to music in the original language is way more fun. Translators can't give you the same nuance or immersion.
• Exploring the culture - learning a language lets you catch jokes, idioms, and references that translators can't convey, and connect with people on a deeper level through their traditions and everyday life.
• The rewarding feeling - actually learning a language and understanding it yourself feels amazing. It is a skill you own, not something a machine gives you.

But I'm curious - what do you all think? Will learning languages still matter once AI translators are perfect? Or is it becoming optional?
