Info

Bao Ma, BMWs Chinese name meaning Precious Horse is a commonly used phrase in culture. However, AI makes a mistake when translating it into English: Bao Ma becomes BMW, instead of Precious Horse. We boldly turned this error into a social video: illustrating the fun that ensues when Bao Ma in common CNY wishes is turned into BMW by the translation apps.
