Youtube really doesn't make it obvious that a title got auto-translated. I now realize that I've seen this happen before, with a video that had a different title on my TV than on my computer, but up until this very second I thought it was my TV's fault.

Even being aware of this - how do I know that it's an auto-translation, rather than someone making AI slop in my native language, without watching the video?

One way to tell is when the video has text in the thumbnail. If it's in a different language than the title it has likely been auto translated.
