The Passion of Ideology
I prompted ChatGPT to write an excerpt from a romance novel featuring polar-opposite philosophers Slavoj Žižek and Ayn Rand, and used Midjourney to illustrate the cover of said romance novel.

Ayn Rand and Slavoj Žižek sat across from each other in a cozy café, their eyes locked in a heated debate.
"Your philosophy of socialism is misguided and naive," Ayn Rand said, leaning in closer to Slavoj. "Individual rights and personal freedoms are the cornerstone of a just society."
"But your philosophy of selfishness and greed is equally misguided," Slavoj countered, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "We must consider the greater good of the collective and work towards equality for all."
Ayn Rand couldn't help but be drawn in by Slavoj's charisma and wit, despite their opposing views. She found herself flirting with him as they continued to argue.
"You may call it selfishness, but I call it rational self-interest," Ayn Rand said, her voice low and seductive. "We should be free to pursue our own happiness without interference from the state."
"And what about the happiness of others?" Slavoj asked, his voice equally tantalizing. "Is it not our responsibility to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive, not just the wealthy and powerful?"
Ayn Rand couldn't resist the temptation any longer. She reached across the table and took Slavoj's hand in hers, looking into his eyes with a mix of desire and admiration.
"I may not agree with your politics, but I cannot deny the passion and conviction with which you argue for them," she said, her heart pounding with excitement. "Perhaps we can continue this debate in a more...intimate setting?"
Slavoj grinned, his eyes shining with desire. "I would like nothing more," he said, standing up and offering his hand to Ayn Rand.
As they walked out of the café, their hands intertwined, Ayn Rand and Slavoj knew that their love may have been unconventional, but it was strong and true. Despite their philosophical differences, they had found common ground in their passion for debate and their desire for each other.
