Ah, thank you for the tip. We even went to the Neues museum and didn't see anything about this! MB was delighted to find a notice in place of one Egyptian exhibit that said it was temporarily unavailable as lent to the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge

Was in Berlin last week and didn't know these were on display. Aargh. Would have been great!

I think we could say generative AI can be rejected and we can keep it for things like protein-folding and climate prediction
