Deutsche Bahn = trauma
On my way to Romanistiktag in Konstanz by train... I left my apartment in Berlin at 8:00 and I still have two hours to get to my destination after several delays and missed connections. It's much easier to travel to Cuba than traversing Germany with Deutsche Bahn.

"the algorithms highlighted 122 applications from a total of 714 as having a low chance of success. This decision was checked by two human reviewers, who rescued 46 applications initially flagged for rejection by the AI system."
