I was surprised at how game the AI was to pronounce the Hawaiian place names, it was confident enough that I assumed the pronunciation was correct. The article notes that it is butchering the placenames though.

To me this illustrates a common cognitive mismatch when evaluating AI, it can be confident in a way that most humans can't, and that misleading social cue is another reason we trust its output.

I've seen plenty of human newsreaders be confidently incorrect about place names. And some pronunciations aren't necessarily "wrong" so much as contested.
