Easier to just learn Greek. Good luck.

This comment on Reddit made me laugh. For days I’ve been trying to remove Greek which has been taking over my google searches. It got worse when I tried to change it in my google profile settings: all the instructions were in Greek! The Greek script is beautiful, but incomprehensible to me. I just had to guess, interpreting the icons, until I got it right. But still Greek keeps popping up.

I trace the problem back to the photo of a Greek inscription I took for my last post, Old School, and asked google to translate it. I’m guessing that AI has made all manner of assumptions as a result.

I can see from the comments on Reddit that lots of other people have had the same problem, sometimes after travelling to another country. One commented that Arabic and Hebrew are even more incomprehensible and are read from right to left. Even if the Greek went from right to left I couldn’t read it.
