Super86 posted:The Imuse system, used to generate music for the Lucasarts games. It's little compared to some examples already named in this thread, but it produced very good results. For some reason, similar technology hasn't been used again since the 90's. I think TIE Fighter was the last game that used it. Looking Glass Studios used something similar for the Ultima Underworld and System Shock games -- SS1 using MIDI, and SS2 using a shitload of short PCM samples that the music engine combined at runtime.

Just found out about this blog, via the retro FPS thread. The main appeal there is the combination of Deepdream with Doom, but for some reason I can't stop laughing at this portrait of a cat:

This isn't procedurally generated per se, but it seems like the kind of thing this thread would appreciate: the most unwanted song. In the 90s, a polling firm sought to quantify what aspects of music people most liked or disliked. Professional musicians then took the "most disliked" list and wrote this 22 minute, 25 movement piece for soprano, tuba, accordion, bagpipes, drum machine and children's choir. This video shows the score and conductor's notes as the music plays; I highly recommend reading along.

Krankenstyle posted:yea like every few of your pages maybe. i spent a full minute binary searching for greased and it was on page 9. That's worst case fwiw. The property of containing greased casserole isn't something the thread is sorted on, though, so binary search doesn't actually help here.

https://twitter.com/JanelleCShane/status/1125940169964548097 I really question the claim here that it's "technically doable", between the fact that you can't cream flour, the double-use of the syrup, and the call for 8 ounces of "chunky whites",

This was posted in the Antifoodporn thread ages ago, but I don't think it ever made it back here to its true home.

1 posted:I wondered what would happen if you fed something that already looked like the output of a Markov Chain generator - say, 17,400 GBS thread titles - into a Markov chain generator... For some reason "What's the most goldfish" is incredibly funny to me. "ITT we don't" and "PSA: Don't vegetables [CYOA]" are both pretty good too.

EVIL Gibson posted:
Not really; they noticed things like references to "chart above" when there is no chart, which got them to to dig further. Other teachers mention stuff like citations of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations being rendered as "The Abundance of Countries" or common phrases like "separation of powers" turning into "division of competencies". The root cause being that the student is trying to automate the process of "run stuff through a thesaurus so simple 'does this text appear in exactly the same form in another work' plagiarism checks fail" but the automated tool they're using can't tell the difference between the titles of other works being cited, common terms of art, and the text surrounding them. I know people who did this by hand ("the teacher says I have to do this 'in my own words', so I'll read a paragraph from the textbook, then reword each sentence, so that counts") but this was also in, like, grade 3-4.

Captain Hygiene posted:The moment it just conjures up a baseball cap and sunglasses to make a sports dude is pretty magical Every moment after that is also magical, but it's the kind of magic that ends with "there were no survivors, and to this day, no-one knows what manner of creature they summoned...or where it went afterwards."
