    The Washington Department of Licensing said in a statement that it was trying to fix the Spanish option and figure out how it happened in the first place.

    reading between the lines: they didn’t fucking test it at all before rolling it out.

    “Your estimated wait time is less than ‘tres’ minutes,” the voice said.

      Nahh, this seems exactly like something that would happen from advanced text predictors, which is exactly what ALL of these LLM “AI” are. The instructions are in English, no doubt. Of course there is a strong association with English words despite, “in Mexican” surely being somewhere in the “instructions”.

      This is just more ELIZA effect in action… Fucking braindead execs/etc failing to understand that it is literally just advanced text prediction that’s fed through a TTS “AI” driven system, that’s surely given just as tenuouse of a connection to Spanish as the text predictor…

      (I know your comment seems aware of that fact given the AGI slamming, I just had to vent in a way that describes why it’s such bullshit)
