Sorry to those in other countries who viewed recent GMTK videos and got a version of the video with a strange robotic voice in French, German, etc

Turns out YouTube switched on AI-powered "auto-dubbing", without warning creators.

YouTube makes it the default option for everyone in non-English countries, and it must be turned off for every single video. There's no system-wide option to disable it as a viewer.

Furthermore it has mistakes, and even translates the title so it looks like a native French / Italian / etc video, when it's a crudely dubbed English video.

Basically: It's not a great user experience.

So I've removed the auto-dubbed tracks and video titles from the Game Jam video, and stopped it from happening on future uploads.

I'll work to remove them in legacy videos soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
