I don’t agree. Tools like DeepL were and still are better than Google Translate long before chat bots became a thing. The French-made Mistral AI is pretty decent as well.

Saw some benchmarks recently that put Mistral well behind basically every other competitor. Don't have them on hand unfortunately.
FWIW, I refactored 500+ Junit 4 to Junit 5 tests with locally running Mistral 8B on an M3 MBP. It worked flawlessly, but surely I cannot attest for other use cases.

Edit: it was 8B, not 7B.

They are not the best sure, but are very inexpensive, offer better privacy and are super fast.
