how you know the bus system used AI for their English announcements: there's a street called Fuxing, pronounced fu-shin (with a soft sh), and the stop announcements call it "fucksing"
any person in a recording booth would've been corrected
I think the metro system announcements are less fucked but I don't actually remember off the top of my head
OKAY maybe it's jsut text to speech and not necessarily AI exactly but I don't remember jt being like this before????
Anyway I still think it should get changed
I'd spend the whole time trying not to laugh
My work is at Coxwell station and the overhead pronounces it Cockswell
And I just. Try not to be 13 every day
FUCKSING
Haha! I have something like that near me! Where it mispronounces a name as: mount-u-c*nt.
I busted out laughing the first time it happened.
I busted out laughing the first time it happened.
o-oh no
you'd think someone would've doublechecked that before it got rolled out to the buses...
that sounds like text to speech fuckery but also lol
OH NO...
IM GLAD EVERYONE IS ENJOYING MY PAIN
😫
