Social media has been flooded with the meme of "I forced a bot to watch 1,000 hours of xyz and then made it write a script" and those, such as the Olive Garden commercial, Bob Ross script, Trump rally, Saw movie, and more...are, sadly, fake. At least in the sense that a bot did not write them. Even though they're hilariously nonsensical, they are not quite nonsensical ENOUGH to be the work of a computer.

However. The thing of feeding source content to "educate" a computer and then asking it to give similar output, is a project being done. They've done many things, like recipes, lists of paint colors, names of made up college courses, all sorts of things. I've started following a website about this, and it's often pretty funny stuff.

Here is one where, during kitten season, a rescue org had them create lists of names for cats and used several of the ones generated...some good stuff here!

Letting Neural Networks be Weird: Kitten names

(Also a few really cute kitten pictures!)

I think my favorite is Snox Boops.

I'm leaning toward Jexley Pickle as my favorite. There's some pretty cool names there, and I usually have a hard time coming up with one I really like. My wife was always better at it than me. Not planning on having any more cats, but you never know.

Love that the computers are learning Mordor. (at least it looks like that)
Very interesting, and I also let wife name the cats, as Catdad does.
Every now and then, I sneak one in she accepts.

Out of a dozen or so over the years, I got to name one. A scrawny, starving little 6 week old dilute calico with huge paws. She didn't stop eating like a pig for weeks, and turned into the most mischievous little troublemaker we ever had. My wife said "Ok you name this one". I was in one of these moods, so I named her Angel. She actually turned out to be one after she got past the terrible two's.

they kind of remind me of the Lewis Carol poem Jabberwocky.


wonder why Jabberwocky did make the list.



suddenly Splotch, Hissy Kitty, Fluff and Stripey Stripe don't seem so odd.
