The view is an extra

I love how our ICN fleet bears names of people passed. Always interesting reading the plaques and finding out interesting facts.

Today I accompany this beauty, bearing the name of Louis Chevrolet, which I didn't know was Swiss.

Only after reading the plaque inside I connected the name to the American brand and read his tragic story.

The plaque in English:

Louis Chevrolet ​Mechanic, race car driver, and automotive designer. In 1905, he set the land speed world record for a single mile, and went on to co-found the American automobile brand that bears his name in 1911.

​Born on December 25, 1878, in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Died on June 6, 1941, in Lakewood, near Detroit (USA).

Talking with Google Gemini, exploring its functions here and there, sharing my experience and knowledge, trying out tools, doing deep research and mixing ideas, this video came out.

​

Let me know what you think, if it's even understandable/interesting. If it makes logical sense from an "outsider's" perspective. It contains multiple topics, maybe loose connections.

​

Took me 2 days, this is how AI should be used, not creating for us, but helping us shape out ideas.

​

I just made it for fun, so if it brings something, good, if it's bad and difficult to follow, let me know so I can do better next time, if this thought you something or not at all.

X9 ultra I'm pleased, nothing compared to my Black Magic 4K at home with a good lens, but for on the go it's more than good.
