Artificial intelligence criticized: Berlin sights disappoint!
Berlin has a very special charm that lies not only in the beautiful parts of the city. While summer attracts many visitors, the question arises: What dark sides does the capital have to offer? One author had difficulty shedding light on the negative aspects of Berlin and resorted to artificial intelligence (AI) in his research. The first impulses from various AI systems revolved around constant rain, construction sites and the famous currywurst, but the attentive Berliners found these topics anything but exciting or current. With another AI prompt, he was asked about the “ugliest place” in the city, and all the AIs agreed on the Alexa Center, which didn’t surprise the author.
Nevertheless, he remains skeptical about the authentic perception of beauty and ugliness. While the digital world often likes to praise the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag as the “beauties” of the city, the author finds this selection to be uninspired and not particularly Berlin-like. Instead, he kept an eye on the amusing and often absurd Google reviews, which contain many reviews from real users who talk about the cleanliness and overrating of the Brandenburg Gate. Berliner Zeitung describes how even the best places receive criticism for their excellence, while Google now bans the creation of AI-generated reviews.
