Parody generator
Parody generators are computer programs which generate text that is syntactically correct, but usually meaningless, often in the style of a technical paper or a particular writer. They are also called travesty generators and random text generators.
Their purpose is often satirical, intending to show that there is little difference between the generated text and real examples.
Many work by using techniques such as Markov chains to reprocess real text examples; alternatively, they may be hand-coded, like Chomskybot.
Examples
- Dissociated press, an implementation of a Markov chaining algorithm
- Postmodernism Generator, generates essays in the style of post-structuralism
- SCIgen, generates nonsensical computer science research papers
- SubredditSimulator, a fully automated subreddit that generates random submissions and comments using Markov chains.
