#English: The word “postparation” (=the opposite of “preparation”) would be useful, but doesn’t exist. Alternatives include:
• review, evaluation
• debrief
• post-processing
• wrap-up
• post-mortem

In #German, there is “Vorbereitung” (before-processing) and “Nachbereitung” (after-processing).

#Deutsch: Mir gefällt “low-effort content” als Ausdruck für AI slop. Wie würde man das übersetzen?

“A thought-terminating cliché is a form of loaded language – often passing as folk wisdom – intended to end an argument and reinforce cognitive dissonance with a cliché rather than a point.”

#German vs. #English:

Der Inhalt der Tasse und digitale Inhalte.
The contents of the cup and digital content.

English has the convenient word “creator” when it comes to the person who authored a video. You wouldn’t call that person an “author”, right?

I’m wondering what the corresponding word in #German would be:
• “Produzent” doesn’t quite fit.
• “Schöpfer” sounds a bit weird, but maybe we should embrace that term.
• “Video-Gestalter” sounds good.
• “Creator” and “Content Creator” also seem to be used in German, but if we can avoid anglicisms, we probably should.

Really good introduction to Chinese sentence structures (even if you don’t know any Cantonese and only want to learn Mandarin, as an English speaker):
