I just posted that Google is translating words that should be translated like "bastard" in foreign pop music (in this case, a member of the most popular boy band in the world, BTS) as racial slurs like the n-word. This is pretty much the worst case error scenario for a translation service.

It's amazing more people aren't talking about this stuff, how incompetent do you have to be to allow racial slurs in translation, especially with all the weights towards being pro-diversity etc that already exist?
Just more enshittification from ol Sundar and the crew
