    Over the last six months, me and friend tried to automate German comedy. It’s a long read, but I thought it deserved a proper write-up because, instead of just speculating about AI in business, we actually built it… questions very welcome!

      > German is not English with umlauts (sic). This sounds obvious, but the gap between English and German-language model performance is a fundamental problem.

      This is absolutely what I despise about people who post LLM slop in German, especially the parts where it’s trying to be funny. That does so not translate into German. This is about to become a serious issue as LLM usage keeps rising. It’s entirely missing in public debate.

        As written, at least for us, this already IS a serious issue. I think there is simply not enough German-language AI projects yet, and so we Germans prefer to discuss real pressing matters such as the 'Pendlerpauschale'… o.O
