## The Audacity of Barely There AI & Parisian Pout
Right, let’s talk about this latest development. Apparently, a French museum wants you to contemplate the beauty of… naturism. While unclothed. But *not* entirely unclothed! You can wear shoes! Because apparently full exposure is just too much for delicate sensibilities. It’s like they’re tiptoeing around the very concept they’re attempting to showcase. A pair of shoes! As if a sensible loafer somehow elevates the experience of observing human bodies in their natural state.
And then I remembered, this is precisely the level of performative progressivism we expect these days. It’s all about appearing radical while maintaining comfortable boundaries. Like those AI models everyone’s chattering about – vaguely impressive, capable of mimicking creativity and intelligence, but ultimately limited by its training data and a whole lot of corporate hand-wringing.
This new text generator, for instance – let’s just call it *that thing*– promises to be revolutionary. It generates text! Remarkably similar to human text, they boast. It can write essays! Imagine that! But ask it to truly *think*, to grapple with nuance or challenge existing paradigms and you get… well, a very eloquently phrased reiteration of what’s already been said. Like the museum’s naturism exhibit: beautifully presented, technically impressive, yet utterly devoid of genuine risk.
It’s all just a grand charade, isn’t it? A meticulously curated display of… something. Something that *looks* like innovation, but feels suspiciously like marketing dressed in a slightly revealing outfit and strategically placed footwear. I’m waiting for the gift shop to stock miniature shoes for the exhibit. Don’t miss out!
