Pascal Spycher and Roger Menzi launched the website www.ai-funghi.com on June 5, 2024 with a mixture of enthusiasm and a good dose of humor. The idea was born during a lively discussion about artificial intelligence, in particular the possibilities offered by OpenAI. They were talking about the fascinating world of GPTs, which anyone can create themselves.
In the middle of the conversation, while Roger was cooking, he jokingly said to Pascal: “If this works, I’ll eat ai funghi.” He was referring to the traditional saying “If this works, I’ll eat my hat”, while at the same time keeping an eye on the rice and the delicious mushrooms in his pan.
Risotto AI FUNGHI, the inspiring dish for this Artificial Intelligence News website
The humorous variation of the proverb and the accidental allusion to AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the name Ai-Funghi caused a hearty laugh from both of them. This spontaneous word creation inspired them so much that they got down to business in no time at all: At 17:55 the domain was bought, and by 19:06 the website was ready – with two posts already published.
The founding of www.ai-funghi.com shows how a passion for technology and a touch of spontaneity can lead to creative projects. Stay tuned to see what other surprises Pascal and Roger have in store for you in the world of artificial intelligence!
