AI winter is well on its way

Of course Google (or any other company) aren't going to blatently lie in a letter to investors (that kind of thing gets you sued) but it's pretty easy to spin words to sound more impressive than they may actually be.

Using the list provided, one example

"caption over a billion videos in 10 languages on YouTube;" - This doesn't say how accurate the captions acutally are. In my experience youtube captioning even of english dialect isn't exactly great. For one example try turning on the captions on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQJrBSXSs6o

so it's true I'm sure to say they've captioned the videos AI based techniques, but that doesn't mean they're a perfected option.

Also (purely anecodtally) Google translate also isn't exactly perfect yet either...

... I don't think I understand that video even with my own ears. YouTube captioning has actually significantly improved from it's previous hilarious state
