Fifty-Four Seconds

This story picks up a thread: The fourth note: timed with a stopwatch.

On the morning of September 17 Kenala had already changed the first text on my website, prompted by a sentence of mine. In the afternoon came the next step: the first job through the new entrance, through which any AI will later be able to talk to Kenala. Again one sentence: make the retail text on the photography page a little more direct, nothing else.

Then I watched. Kenala found the passage, wrote a new text in German and English and ran eight checks: does the text keep to my language rules? Are the facts right? Has nothing else been changed? Does the page still build? At the end sixteen screenshots lay before me, old and new side by side. It took fifty-four seconds.

This is what it looks like after a yes. The dachshund remains unimpressed.
