Why do people always say to use Google Translate?

I always see people here telling people to use Google Translate. Why? Google Translate (and all other web translators) SUCK, and you have pretty much a 0% chance of getting an accurate translation. People are posting here because they want a *person* to translate, not some machine that doesn't understand context.|||Google Translate is recommended because it's probably the most used translator. Unfortunately, translators do not understand context and are therefore very unreliable. It's not as easy to cheat on your Spanish paper as it looks.|||Thank you. Especially with more complicated languages, Google Translate does a terrible job. And you can usually tell if you know a little bit of the language when someone was just using Google Translate, even if they don't say they did.|||Actually when it comes to translating full sentences or blocks of text, Google Translate is one of the better sites as it has active editors.|||cuz people here is lazy.
