Is there anyone, and I do mean ANYONE, left in charge of Localization at Microsoft? In their latest ad, their (presumably) garbage AI translated "I just got broken up with, should I get bangs?" to "I just got broken up with, should I kill myself?" SERIOUSLY? - ThreadSky

An outsourcer recently commented me that Microsoft is only hiring humans for critical texts and that all the rest is unsupervised machine translation.

I wonder what they consider "critical texts" - How is an ad that being blasted to thousands (millions?) of people for their new product not considered high visibility content?

Microsoft used to have the highest loc standards, but now...

Couldn't it also read something like "should I get fucked?", which is not much better?

yeah it's more of a "get bangs" vs. "get banged" problem – not better but funnier, at least.

Ugh.

Considering that this is supposed to be the statistically most probable next phrase I'm wondering what that LLM got trained with. What a thing to "say."
