A bug in Google's text-to-speech engine is causing
Google Now and
Google Translate to interject the phrase "he now praises the iPad" into sentences that end using phrases such as "end with," "enraged with," and "filled with."
The mysterious phrasing, which first came about in October 2012 on the
Android support page, was publicized by
Hacker News last night, resulting in some hilarious sentences.
One altered spoken sentence, for example reads, "Larry Page used to use an Android. But that is now at an end, he now praises the iPad."
Theoretically, Google's algorithm improperly incorporated this sentence, causing the bug. Thus far, Google has not resolved the problem, so for the time being, Google Now and Google Translate can still be used to create humorous sentences.
