Just made me realize how much I depend on AI tools these days! In the past, electicity and network issues were the major issues that would slow down my work. Now, AI assistance has the same effect. I can still work but it feels like walking around in a city without mobile network.

Google translate: Angela Merkel has reproached himself against allegations that the Bundestag election campaign is lacking in tension.

DeepL: Angela Merkel resisted accusations that the Bundestag election campaign lacked tension.
