Meanwhile, PewDiePie is turning into a tinfoil hat man after half a year on Linux:

IDK what is going on with Google...

Google is getting as useless as possible! (it's 1979, dammit)

#Google@GameDEV

Wait, Google is down

UPD: It's fully functional after about two hours of issues

Google on-screen translation started to get wrong languages as the output regardless of the settings. The issue apparently started in September and is getting worse over time.

In my case, it shows a mix of Turkish, Portuguese, and Arabic. But each time it will return with a different language and it can be completely random. So it's often less helpful than the source I'm looking at.

Yes, even if Gemini is disabled for you, it still handles translation backend on the Google Assistant and web-based translation. Google refused to provide any information.

Just in case you have a messy translation — this is the reason!

The guy on Google Support forums is abusing his Expert title (he isn't working for Google, he's just an enthusiast) and threaten to ban people for reports on translation issues.

And lock out forums where the issue is reported.

You can kindly report his replies here: https://support.google.com/profile/17155 (the whole account can't be reported, but you can open his ban messages below and report them)

The AI slop upscaled videos appeared on YouTube. "Zombie on your lawn" is among the first videos that were forcibly upscaled.

The issue:
- Results are mediocre
- Low bitrate makes wobbly image
- Enabled by default on desktop
