I can see why the idea appeals, but while this may not be AI, it ain't no actual French detective either. Still, lots of retweets and likes so there's that.
Actual shot (not AI!) of a French detective working the case of the French Crown Jewels that were stolen from the Louvre in a brazen daylight robbery. Somehow he looks like he’s smoking even without a cigarette in his hand, but surely everything you know about life is screaming

Think the time's come to migrate. I'll keep this account open for the time being but won't be active on it. See you where the sky's bluer.

It’s November 2024 and I am listening for the first time ever to BBCs ‚Today‘ talking about the damage Brexit has done to Britain. I mean, it has just been 8 years..

Fascinant: la commission @vonderleyen 2 risque de tomber à cause du blocage du @EPPGroup sur @Teresaribera, de loin la meilleure candidate de l'équipe, juste parce que la politique politicienne espagnole s'impose au Parlement européen

Elon Musk will rip out the basic administrative structures needed to sustain a functioning state and then wonder why the state can't implement his or Trump's agenda

Seems evident that Elon Musk will end up as Trump's Dominic Cummings, angrily throwing rocks at him online

The American people have voted. I am in regular contact with top security officials from both parties. Europe urgently needs to take more responsibility for its security. The winds of history are blowing ever more strongly. Poland's leadership will rise to the occasion.

Zwickau has seen the birth of the Audi, Nazi tanks made by forced labourers, the creation of the cult communist-era two-stroke Trabant & the arrival of sleek VW assembly lines turning out Golfs. On fear & resilience at the EV plant as the axe looms https://t.co/orUVoszHah

More of Marine Le Pen's voters would like to see Kamala Harris in the White House than would rather prefer Donald Trump. Does that say more about them, or about Trump? https://t.co/RXsbauRu7q

YouGov survey suggests fewer are confident that Harris will win and most expect violence if Trump is not elected

Honestly, if we reelect this charlatan we deserve whatever misery and strife we’re sure to get
It's easy to forget how insane the stuff Trump says is sometimes because there's so much of it. Thanks, Jimmy Kimmel.

Sans être spécialement pessimiste, je ne sais pas ce qu’il restera de notre civilisation quand nos démocraties libérales auront subi encore 5, 10 ou 20 ans de mensonges décomplexés, assénés comme des vérités alternatives… https://t.co/wdSyzAKM72

I thought he Was a lawyer. Does that not imply a bare minimum of, er, actual legal knowledge ?
The public had a right to know the truth straight away. I am seriously concerned that facts may have been withheld from the public. Keir Starmer must urgently explain what he knew about the Southport attack and when he learned it.
