An AI-penned poem about the joy of nudity

“Irony is just honesty with the volume cranked up.” – George Saunders

An AI-generated painting of a nude human. Made using Facetune, 2022.

As advanced as artificial intelligence has become, and as shockingly advanced as it soon will be, there is one thing it cannot ever truly experience: the feeling of being naked in one's own skin. This poem, written and titled by the AI chat algorithm ChatGPT, attempts to capture the essence of what it means to embrace one's unadorned corporal form, and the freedom that comes along with it. Does it succeed? What do you think?

“Emancipation from the Layers”
The skin, a canvas, waiting to be set free 
From constricting clothes, a prison of society 
To shed the layers, to bare it all 
Is to embrace the primal, to stand tall

Nudity, a freedom, a wild delight 
To feel the air, to bask in the light 
No longer bound by fabric, no longer confined 
But free to roam, to let the body shine

It is a joy, a liberation, a bliss 
To shed the masks, to be true to this 
To embrace the naked, to revel in the bare 
Is to honor the self…
