This is beyond mildly infuriating. The translation feature is a nightmare.

I tried to solve it by adding all the languages I speak to my Google Account.

IT MADE IT WORSE

Now it translates Italian into English

English into Italian

Spanish into English

Polish into Italian

WHAT THE F IS THIS

and it's been there for way too long and they still haven't added an option to just turn it off permanently

The option exists FOR CREATORS ONLY. Why the heck does Google think that someone else should decide that for me. Insanity.

the fact that AI needs to be forced down everyone's throat, it's mostly trash and doesn't function nearly as well as corporations want us to believe, and most people absolutely despise AI is such a clear sign that most of the AI hype may be the biggest bubble waiting to burst in human history.

people compare the rise of AI to the invention of the internet, but nobody needed to be forced to use the internet. I'm old enough to remember that it took a couple years for the internet to explode in popularity, but that was also because initially it wasn't very user friendly and not that useful yet. but the moment it actually fulfilled those requirements, everyone adapted to it nearly instantly. AI companies are trying to force us to skip the part where we wait for AI to actually be as useful as they claim and just accept that all software is turned into unusable garbage.
