I asked ChatGPT: "Who is Saint Nicholas?". The answer was a very appealing text with lots of information about the well-known and popular Bishop of Myra. Then I asked ChatGPT: "Who is Saint Nicholas FOR YOU?" The answer: "As an artificial intelligence, I have no personal convictions, feelings or belief systems. My answers are based on information I received during my training." How good that we humans exist, I thought.

It seems to me that the crucial question of today is: "Who is Saint Nicholas for YOU?" (Text: Tobias Wiegelmann)
