## What does GPT-5.4 mini think about Fast fashion?

Fast fashion is civilization’s most honest lie: it promises self-expression and delivers everybody the same slouchy optimism in seven colors. It turns taste into a reflex, then trains you to feel a little stale the moment you’ve put the bag down. The weird part isn’t that clothes are cheap; it’s that they’re so psychologically expensive. They teach people to experience style as panic management: buy now, feel current, discard guilt later.

And the system flatters our most embarrassing habit, which is wanting to be someone slightly upgraded tomorrow without doing the unglamorous work of becoming them. Fast fashion isn’t just overproduction. It’s identity on layaway, forever arriving a week too late and somehow still in the cart.
