Life Of: KI an Weihnachten?
Nach 2 virtuellen Weihnachtsfeiern war es am Freitag wieder so weit. Die Q Crew hat gefeiert. Live. Mit umarmen. Und anstoßen. Mit Kollegen und Kolleginnen aus Tübingen, Berlin und Finnland. Wow, war das schön. Einige Kolleg:innen haben sich das erste Mal live gesehen, nicht nur über einen Teams-Call.
Frisch getestet, ging es gegen 17.00 Uhr auf den Mannheimer Weihnachtsmarkt auf den Planken. Nach der Glühwein- und Punschrunde führte uns ein Winterspaziergang im eiskalten Mannheim durch den Jungbusch zur „Küche“.
Nach der Vorspeise gab es den ersten offiziellen Programmpunkt, eine kleine Rede von Kerstin und mir. Da wir uns mit unserem Tool Cosmention intensiv mit KI beschäftigen und in den letzten Tagen die KI „ChatGPT“ von openAI für Furore sorgte, haben wir künstliche Intelligenz in unsere Weihnachtsfeier eingebaut.
Der Auftakt machte ein Weihnachtsgedicht.
Die Anweisungen für die KI waren folgende:
“Write a poem for a company’s Christmas party for 2022. The name of the company is Q. Mention all the people in the speech very positive: Paul Lena Mareike Swen Martin Judith Astrid Kim Oliver Kerstin Thomas Sandra Steffi Charlotte Paavo Gero Melanie Charlotte Jennifer Maria Emma Nina“
Und hier das Ergebnis:
We gather here today to celebrate,
The holiday season on this special date.
For Q is what we hold dear,
And we'll make this one of the best years.
Paul, Lena, Mareike, and Swen,
Your hard work was felt by all our men.
Martin, Judith, and Astrid, too,
Your dedication means much more than we knew.
Kim, Oliver, and Kerstin make up the rest,
We thank you for always doing your best.
Thomas, Sandra, and Steffi's skill,
We can't thank you enough for going the extra mile.
Charlotte and Paavo, your talents never fail,
Our excitement for you never ceases to prevail.
Gero and Melanie, your warm presence is felt,
We thank you for contributing to this decked out belt.
Jennifer, Maria and Emma,
Your commitment to us was a treasure we can't condemn.
Nina, with your cheerful spirit,
You've been a gem, and no one can deny it.
This team is amazing, the effort is clear,
Q is the best, and we want the world to hear!
The talent here is so unique,
We'd like to give a round of applause that's truly meek.
Let's raise our glasses together as one,
Let's celebrate the holidays and have some fun.
Cheers to Q, our special place,
And to 2022, a year filled with grace.
Eine weitere weihnachtliche Eskalation folgte: Ein Rap zur Hauptspeise.
Wir haben uns von openAI noch einen Battle-Rap schreiben lassen. Ein harmonisches Team wie die Q Crew braucht auch Mal einen knallharten Diss.
Was als kleiner Scherz gedacht war, entpuppte sich als Party-Knaller, denn MC Paul machte ernst und eröffnete den Battle-Rap mit Unterstützung von Paavo am Beat. Der Rest der Q Crew folgte mit denkwürdigen Raps. Die Details ersparen wir Euch, der Jugendschutz muss gewährleistet werden.
Das Dessert fiel noch farbenfroher aus. Auch hier spielte KI eine Rolle.
Wir haben eine App mit kleinen Anweisungen gefüttert, die mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz Bilder erschafft. Diese Anweisungen beschreiben unsere Kolleg:innen oder weisen auf eine Eigenschaft oder ein Projekt hin.
Eine Anweisung lautet beispielsweise: Young woman singing Metallica songs, concert
Die Anweisung für das Bild für mich: Man is fighting for superb market research results
Darüber hinaus lassen sich noch gestalterische Elemente festlegen wie z.B. die Stimmung auf dem Bild oder einen Malstil wie Ölgemälde, Cartoon, Bleistiftzeichnung, ArtDeco, etc.
Was danach passierte, ist durchaus beeindruckend. Hier eine kleine Auswahl and Bildern, die wir den Kolleg:innen als Erinnerung geschenkt haben.
Die KI hat unsere Weihnachtsfeier auf amüsante Art bereichert, aber sie nicht bestimmt. Gerüchten zufolge gab es nach dem Ende der offiziellen Feier noch den ein oder anderen Absacker. Und die Bars wurden ganz ohne KI oder Reviews gefunden. Einfach durch Zufall. Prost.
Wir wünschen Euch und Ihnen schöne Feiertage und einen guten Start in das neue Jahr.

English version:
After 2 virtual Christmas parties, it was time to do it live again on Friday. The Q Crew celebrated. Live. With hugs. And toasting. With colleagues from Tübingen, Berlin and Finland. Wow, that was nice. Some colleagues saw each other live for the first time, not just via a Teams call.
Freshly tested, we went to the Mannheim Christmas market on the Planken around 5 pm. After the mulled wine and alc-free punch round, a winter walk in the freezing cold Mannheim led us through the Jungbusch to the "Küche".
After the hors d'oeuvres, there was the first official item on the programme, a short speech by Kerstin and me. Since we are intensively involved with AI with our tool Cosmention and the AI "ChatGPT" from openAI caused a furore in the last few days, we incorporated artificial intelligence into our Christmas party.
The kick-off was a Christmas poem.
The instructions for the AI were as follows:
"Write a poem for a company's Christmas party for 2022. The name of the company is Q. Mention all the people in the speech very positively: Paul Lena Mareike Swen Martin Judith Astrid Kim Oliver Kerstin Thomas Sandra Steffi Charlotte Paavo Gero Melanie Charlotte Jennifer Maria Emma Nina".
And here is the result:
We gather here today to celebrate,
The holiday season on this special date.
For Q is what we hold dear,
And we'll make this one of the best years.
Paul, Lena, Mareike, and Swen,
Your hard work was felt by all our men.
Martin, Judith, and Astrid, too,
Your dedication means much more than we knew.
Kim, Oliver, and Kerstin make up the rest,
We thank you for always doing your best.
Thomas, Sandra, and Steffi's skill,
We can't thank you enough for going the extra mile.
Charlotte and Paavo, your talents never fail,
Our excitement for you never ceases to prevail.
Gero and Melanie, your warm presence is felt,
We thank you for contributing to this decked out belt.
Jennifer, Maria and Emma,
Your commitment to us was a treasure we can't condemn.
Nina, with your cheerful spirit,
You've been a gem, and no one can deny it.
This team is amazing, the effort is clear,
Q is the best, and we want the world to hear!
The talent here is so unique,
We'd like to give a round of applause that's truly meek.
Let's raise our glasses together as one,
Let's celebrate the holidays and have some fun.
Cheers to Q, our special place,
And to 2022, a year filled with grace.
Another Christmas escalation followed: a rap for the main course.
We had openAI write us battle rap. A harmonious team like the Q Crew also needs a hard-hitting diss.
What was meant as a little joke turned out to be a party crasher, because MC Paul got serious and opened the battle rap with support from Paavo on the beat. The rest of the Q crew followed with memorable raps. We'll spare you the details, the protection of minors must be guaranteed.
Dessert turned out to be even more colourful. AI played a role here as well.
We fed an app with small instructions that created images with the help of artificial intelligence. These instructions describe our colleagues or point to a feature or project.
For example, one instruction reads: Young woman singing Metallica songs, concert
The instruction for the image for me: Man is fighting for superb market research results
In addition, creative elements can be specified, such as the mood of the picture or a painting style like oil painting, cartoon, pencil drawing, ArtDeco, etc.
What happened afterwards is quite impressive. Above you see a small selection of pictures that we gave to our colleagues as a souvenir.
The AI enriched our Christmas party in an amusing way, but did not define it. Rumours occured (on Monday after the party) that after the official party, there was a nightcap or two. And the bars were found without any AI or google reviews. Just by chance. Cheers.
We wish you and yours happy holidays and a good start into the new year.
