My company budgeted for AI to transcribe interviews via a third-party company. The AI rejected them as “non-English language”. So did the offshore human translators. I ended up having to “translate” the whole batch. All Brits from “the North” and Scotland. I was much more expensive than AI.

what are some absurd work situations you can share? once i got called into a meeting i had nothing to do with because the consultant brought an engineer and no one in the room could understand him, so they asked me to translate. he was scouse. i translated from english to english.
