The fact that the video is about different kinds of ML is more than a little ironic
So, I was watching this video on Youtube, and it was auto-dubbed. So I switch to the original "Spanish" audio track w/ subtitles, and I hear...English? So Youtube thought the English track was in Spanish, and auto-dubbed it in English...with the same words just an awful TTS voice

Have been thinking about mazes as game design. Not a designer, but hopefully I got enough background not to embarrass myself
