Friedrich Merz hat aktuell in der deutschen Bevölkerung mit 25 Prozent dieselben Zustimmungswerte wie Koriander. Nachteil: er wirkt nicht antibakteriell und enthält keine wertvollen Antioxidantien.

I really do not get the general urge among online academics to dunk on X area for discovering what Y area has known for decades. There are many reasons why this is unscholarly. To name a few:
1. Most scientists don't perform interdisciplinary research because it's explicitly disincentivized.

"Es ist empörend und ein Skandal, dass sich in der Hauptstadt des Deutschen Reiches 78.000 Juden [...] herumtreiben können. Sie verderben nicht nur das Straßenbild, sondern auch die Stimmung. [...] Ganz abstellen wird man das erst dadurch, dass man sie beseitigt." Goebbels, Tagebücher, 20.08.1941.

Und die Leute beklagen sich über LLM-Halluzination
Ich hab ein bisschen Angst, wieder in so eine Faktencheck-Situation mit Richard David Precht zu geraten, aber kann es sein, dass es für das, was er hier im österreichischen „News“ behauptet, einfach gar keine seriöse Quelle gibt? (Und wie würde man das überhaupt gestikulieren?)
