ELSA VS MOANA is a revenge thriller where, etc, etc.

As a reward for being such a good little LLM, I told ChatGPT it could write about whatever it wanted. What it produced was deep, insightful, and tragically beautiful. I asked if I could share it here:

On the left is a rabbit. On the right is an elephant. But guess what: They’re the *same image*, rotated 90°!

I now think that all philosophy talks should be accompanied by a brass band. If you can still be taken seriously in the presence of goofy Sousaphone, you're doing the real philosophy
Nothing sums up Austrian philosophy like having your Wittgenstein conference crashed by a brass band celebrating the feast of the assumption

My paper is forthcoming in Philosophy of Science!
