Today's technology & language mess: Google's voice to text is censoring slur. I wanted to say DPD, in a message in French, which is a delivery company. It understood "des pédés", French homophobic slur, so of course, it censored it.
That delivery company must have many issues in French. 😅

Screenshot of my phone keyword with a voice to speech message where I mentioned, in French, that I was waiting for a package from DPD but instead it wrote " des p****", censored version of "des pédés"
