YouTube's automatic and forced AI translation has to be the worst feature of this decade.
- netsharc 11mo agoAt least it's optional.. YouTube thinks if you're accessing from country X, you want the video titles in language X. Utter fucking geniuses. I say "thinks", it sometimes does this and sometimes doesn't. And there's no "Leave the fucking titles alone" option anywhere... Reminds me of IMDb pulling the same genius move of "Hey, here's the title of that movie as it was released in the region we've geolocated you in!"
- isaacremuant 11mo agoIt's not optional. It auto dubs stuff assuming no one in the world speaks more than one language or would rather listen to original audio with subs
- netsharc 11mo agoOptional in the sense that there's a way to switch it back after a "wtF?! @#%$#@ you YouTube!!!"...
- ta1243 11mo agoI wonder what proportion of decisions makers in youtube speak more than one language on a regular basis. I suspect it's near-zero.
