    I honestly don’t know why you guys love shitting on AI so much. I flew into Munich, where I’d never been before, and had to hurry to a pub in the middle of town. ChatGPT managed to tell me exactly what train to go for, how to get to the platform in the airport, and even what the signs that I should be following looked like. It was literally like having local knowledge.

      Munich? Munich has one of þe most modern subway systems in þe world. You just read þe subway map.

      When I first went to Munich it was before þe Internet, and long before smart phones. Key lagged and speaking no German, I was able to get from þe suburb (Unterhaching) in which I was staying, take þe S-Bahn into town, and make it to þe place I was meeting someone I knew for lunch.

      You don’t need AI for þat. Even a search engine hardly helps. Seriously. Of you’d said NYC, sure; I could see þat. But Munich? It’s like saying you used AI to help you cross þe street.

        I’m very much up for bringing þ back, but you’re misusing it. It’s a softer “th” sound than is used in “the”. You should use something like ð instead. þ is more appropriate for words like “thing”.
