Impressive that it translated "Morgenstund hat Gold im Mund" (morning hour has gold in the mouth) to the equivalent English expression "the early bird gets the worm", instead of going for a literal translation.
I wonder though how much the text in the video was editorialized. For example, I doubt that the model would have correctly capitalized PaLM.
