These seem like it probably things people said to Alexa. There is probably a combination of speech recognition errors and actual ungrammatical speech happening. Spoken word is often ungrammatical.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 5y agoIt’s kinda wild to think about how incomplete written language is compared to spoken language. Punctuation does a lot of heavy lifting. If I write “I think well the I mean what album is this the song thats playing from” it takes some work to parse, but that’s what an ASR system has to do. A more human transcription might be “I think-- well the-- I mean, what album is this (the song that’s playing) from?”

But some people made fun of Alexa and there was no human to filter out the nonsense: In German I see: "putzen ist gut staub ist so schlecht mach jetzt deinen zauber sauber mein teppich" (cleaning is good dust is so bad make your miracle cleanly my carpet)
- numpad0 5y agoOn top of those, these are translated ~nonsense~ text that aren’t suited for translation. Most likely a list of English texts are handed to translators without intended use cases or extra contexts well communicated to them. Some of texts are only correct in literal sense only or acceptably only in translated literature only, and still passing reviews. Edit: “nonsense” was way too harsh of a word
