From the auto-generated captions on the YouTube video on this page.

> Genie form [sic] can simulate scenarios

It's kind of amazing: the juxtaposition of such advanced generative AI and such terrible speech-to-text coming from the same parent company.

The volume of content on YouTube is enormous, I’m kind of surprised they offer auto captions at all given that they have little to no competition in the space.

Is it surprising? Indexing for search is the backbone of Google's business model.

It's why if you search a practical task you will often see results link to specific parts of a video.

Ok but like, surely the Deepmind team could sneeze and get flawless captions for this video. Why rely on the default YouTube captions instead of just attaching correct ones? It seems silly.

		Yeah if they cared they could create their own captions for sure. They probably didn’t even think about it. Maybe some intern will do it after reading this thread

They're not proof-reading the blog posts either. The second sentence:

> Genie 4 is natively multimodal, enabling audio-like music, ambient noises, and interactive dialogue to be simultaneously generated with the world.

(Emphasis mine). Like, yeah, I'd sure hope the music is similar to audio.

I wonder if this was a de-LLMese pass gone wrong, and the original was "enabling audio -- like music, ambient noises, and interactive dialogue -- to be simultaneously generated with the world.

When you're high on vibes, the line between music and audio-like music tends to blur.

These days, unproofread text adds authenticity.

Typos mean the text came from a human.
