This worries me:

CNN translates politicians using AI.

In this clip, Macron is speaking French, but if you do not speak French, YouTube will switch the sound to an AI voice which sounds a bit like Macron.

So now, when an American politician is listening to the President of France, he is no longer hearing what a real, human translator KNOWS Macron is saying. He is hearing what AI GUESSES Macron is saying.

What happens, if AI gets it wrong?

@randahl it is even worse: YouTube does this whenever it thinks that the language in the video is not your native language. So even if you do speak French, you get the AI version by default unless YouTube thinks your are a native French speaker.
