YouTube summary picks up a wrong transcript - a transcript of a completely wrong video in a completely different language

Merlin's "Generate Summary" on a YouTube video displays a summary of a different YouTube video. To make things even more strange, I was watching a video in English, but Merlin provided a summary in Spanish of a completely different video (of a video that I have never seen in my life). I don't speak Spanish; no one else has access to my laptop or Merlin account; and no one in my circles speaks Spanish.
Merlin's "Generate Transcript" retrieved the correct English transcript of the video I was watching.
How and why Merlin generated a summary of a totally different video is beyond me. So far, this has happened only on this one video; other videos seem to work well.
The video I was watching:
Ex-Google Recruiter Explains: Why Nobody Hires Older Workers (And How to Fix It)
After a bit of googling, I found that the video Merlin summarised seems to be the following one (and has Spanish subtitles as default):
10 Powdered Foods That Last Forever (30+ Years of Shelf Life)
There doesn't seem to be any connection between these two videos: the videos are on different topics, by different authors, and I have zero interest in the topic of the latter video.
