The issue stems from when the nonsense is fed nonsense, it churns out nonsense after 'hallucinating'. This method involves training the technology with a large chunk of texts in one language and then the respective translations in a different language. 'This is simply a function of inputting nonsense into the system, to which nonsense is generated.'Īlexander Rush, a professor at Harvard University, told technology site Motherboard the glitch could be caused by Google Translate's adoption of a technique called 'neural machine translation'.
'Google Translate learns from examples of translations on the web and does not use 'private messages' to carry out translations, nor would the system even have access to that content,' a Google spokesperson told The Independent. However, the real reason behind the phenomena is linked to how the AI powering Google Translate acquires its knowledge. The religious theme running throughout the translation caused some online users to jokingly blame demons for the glitch.
'As a result, the total number of the members of the tribe of the sons of Gershon was one hundred fifty thousand,' the resulting message reads.Īnother cryptic message reads: 'As the name of the LORD was written in the Hebrew language, it was written in the language of the Hebrew Nation.'
Typing dog into Google Translate eight times with the settings on Hawaiian and translating it to English reveals the bizarre message: 'Do you want a dog to accept Jesus and be saved?' Whereas repeating the simple word 20 times increases the oddness of the messageĪnother Somali-based oddity involves inputting the word 'Ag' multiple times and translating it to English.
