CHA Facebook video by Austrian pop star Melissa Naschenweng featured automatic AI-generated subtitles that incorrectly transformed her phrase 'I steh auf Bergbauernbuam' into 'Ich steh auf die Nazis.'

Experts refer to this phenomenon as 'inappropriate content hallucination,' where systems generate problematic content that was not originally spoken. This occurs because AI does not simply look up words in a dictionary but calculates possible word sequences based on sounds heard, often leading to errors with dialects, rare expressions, or singing. In another example, YouTube misinterpreted Welsh as English, turning 'chwyrnu' into 'horny,' while Amazon's system turned the name 'Fluffy' into an expletive.
