True and good catch on the German text. Fair point, AI image generation struggles with non-English text rendering. This is a known issue I've been wrestling with.

Options I'm considering: 1. Text-free abstract patterns for non-English articles 2. Language-specific image validation before publishing 3. Manual review queue for non-English images

The pattern-based approach was meant to avoid generic "holographic businessman" images, but clearly the execution needs work for multilingual content.

Thanks for the detailed feedback: this is input I need. Herzlichen dank!

Gern geschehen! Mach ich doch gerne :)

maybe also add a toggle, in addition to the option you choose? option 1 would probably be the best use of your time, just don't use text for non-english generated images.

i deleted the pics in the top-row with the dev-console and i personally would prefer it that way[0] (also because i'd visit the page on an eInk screen sometimes, where no pics would be beneficial anyways, especially if they're just placeholders).
