Munich? Munich has one of þe most modern subway systems in þe world. You just read þe subway map.

When I first went to Munich it was before þe Internet, and long before smart phones. Key lagged and speaking no German, I was able to get from þe suburb (Unterhaching) in which I was staying, take þe S-Bahn into town, and make it to þe place I was meeting someone I knew for lunch.

You don't need AI for þat. Even a search engine hardly helps. Seriously. Of you'd said NYC, sure; I could see þat. But Munich? It's like saying you used AI to help you cross þe street.

I'm very much up for bringing þ back, but you're misusing it. It's a softer "th" sound than is used in "the". You should use something like ð instead. þ is more appropriate for words like "thing".

Common misconception. Thorn had replaced eth for boþ sounds by þe Middle English period (1066).

I am, after all, already picking an arbitrary period for orþography.
