A humble fishmonger once approached a beautiful witch and asked her "tell
me witch, how come you are so adored, you who are such a beautiful
witch?" "That is because I am certain that I do not know the meaning of
adored" replied the witch. The fishmonger had never before heard such
insight spoken, and after taking the insight to heart, he died and became
known as the most adored fishmonger ever to have lived.

"In ancient Babylon, an old farm boy once approached a crooked, old
gorgon and asked her "how come you are so beloved, you who are but a
crooked, old gorgon?" "Oh, the reason for that is that I always try to
remember that: a crooked, old gorgon is only a crooked, old gorgon if the a
crooked, old gorgon thinks herself to be a crooked, old gorgon" replied the
gorgon. After hearing this the farm boy became sure that the gorgon had
disrespected him, and took it to his heart and brought it with him for the rest
of his life, and a couple of years later, he died."

"Close your eyes and contemplate this Chinese proverb: Human progress is just one big gently caress fest."

edit: Centuries ago, in pre-colonial South America, lived a highly respected king
who was walking around on a desert island in search of a magical cave,
when he spotted a fat maiden. "Can you tell me where to find a magical
cave?" he asked the maiden. Immediately she answered him: "A magical
cave is not on a desert island. It is on the top of the highest mountain." The
king was puzzled by the maiden's answer. Then he offered her some cake as
a reward. The following spring the king finally understood what the maiden
had meant: every human being is born evil if only we try our best. And there
was much rejoice.

Bad sportsmanship. A ruthless minority of people seem to have forgotten good old-fashioned virtues. They just can't stand seeing the other fellow w
I was hooked at "Pay attention to tits."

This might be the best story though:
"Long ago, in ancient Mesopotamia, there was a hideous marksman who
was in search of a lost kitten. That was when he ran into an ugly, old
priestess."Where can a hideous marksman like myself find a lost kitten?" he
asked the priestess. The priestess closed her eyes as if in a trance. And then
she said: "A lost kitten is not in the desert. It is in the last house you visited."
The marksman fondled the priestess. Then he exposed himself to her. The
following summer after hours conversing with his lover, the marksman
understood everything: Wealthy is a friend who respects his mistress, for he
also shares with his neighbor his respect. And when he departed everybody
cried."

It has clearly had very significant human input IMO.

My guess: this stuff has been generated using something like the human-steered word-choice keyboard that Botnik used to write 'Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash', which uncovered such gems as:

"Harry tore his eyes from his head and threw them into the forest. Voldemort raised his eyebrows at Harry, who could not see anything at the moment."

"The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: 'You are Hagrid now.' "

"Ron was going to be spiders. He just was. He wasn't proud of that, but it was going to be hard to not have spiders all over his body after all is said and done."

"Harry knew instantly that he was being poisoned, and he was glad for the opportunity. Suddenly Draco appeared from nowhere and then got lost somewhere else."

"There were too many Weasleys. Everyone knew it, but no one dared stop them."


These sentences are funny in a knowing way that a machine, at present, would simply not manage. But Botnik openly outsourced their sentence creation to whoever wanted to fiddle about with their keyboard, then stitched the results together into something amusing (even though lots of papers reported 'look at this absurdist HP fanfic written by an AI').

Inspirobot seems a far more commercial operation, purpose-built to sling T-shirts and mugs (I wonder who generated and curated their sentence library). On the main site, linked to zazzle, I got these offerings in the first 15 hits, and there were zero completely nonsensical offerings, like the ones you often get from a GAN:

Seems closer to mad libs, crossing 2-4 phrases into a sentence out of different buckets than statistical generation. Not really any less procedural even though it takes more human input to throw phrases into the buckets it works out of

I wonder if anyone has used part-of-speech tagging to create templates. So you could give it a sentence "the man walked to the house" and it infers "noun-def verb-past preposition noun-def" and can generate "the cat vomited into the bucket" or whatever.
