Botnik Robot Writes a Harry Potter Fan Fiction Chapter - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=C0linSSX;52973995]Now someone needs to train it on My Immortal[/QUOTE] Working on it.

[QUOTE=gokiyono;52973435]Someone get Stephen Fry to narrate this[/QUOTE] I wanna hear people liveread this and try not to burst into laughter every other line.

That was amazing, had me crying with laughter. I love this sort of thing so I wish there were more.

[t]https://puu.sh/yFPVe/02f1e7e556.png[/t] Holy shit this could be a line out of the actual book.

The articles in the OP mention that the tool's author "nudges the text in the right direction" presumably fixing grammar and adding the formatting, but they still present it as mostly being the work of the bot. My impression is that they're majorly understating how involved humans were in this chapter's creation. [QUOTE=Sasupoika;52973288][img]https://i.imgur.com/LQccsjS.png[/img] What is with Harry and eating people.[/QUOTE] look at this. this isn't ordinary markov chain randomness, it's following up on ideas from a few sentences earlier in a vaguely coherent way. This is human-written. The only role the bot played in this was inspiration. [editline]13th December 2017[/editline] I'm not denying it's entertaining.

I've read a lot of Markov chains in my day and this was definitely written by a human.

Man, i haven't actually laughed that hard in a really long time.

[t]https://puu.sh/yFQwf/85f84aacb2.png[/t] Well this is what the actual Botnik web app looks like. I'm sure that the end result was a human pressing these buttons to make the story, not entirely the work of the bot.

[t]https://i.imgur.com/xyFAJ11.png[/t] (ignore the color wheel, had paint.net open) Another great thing foiled by a shitty web app. By the way, I remembered the name of the project that started this fad a couple of years ago - it was [url=https://github.com/jbrew/voicebox]voicebox[/url]. The guy that made this seems to be one of the heads at Botnik. If anyone wants the My Immortal .txt to try this for themselves, [url=https://my.mixtape.moe/lecgpc.txt]here you go.[/url]

[quote]it’s an author-assisted predictive text document; creator Jamie Brew and other writers helped nudge the algorithm in the right direction. [/quote]

now will it top thirty Hs?

Shit, give me a 40 page book of this shit with some plot, ill read it in a heartbeat.

This is something I did quickly from the first book [quote]harry and ron were going to do magic by speakin' of magic and potter was still there with harry eating miserably off their jackets. harry pulled his eyes away from professor dumbledore an' said "a small wooden house on the train began to cry loudly and i nearly drowned but nothing else would be able to explain this" hermione gasped "that's why yer late" harry knew they didn't have dudley sister but they still had detentions in harry's mouth. harry ron and hermione's owl dropped in their day for the holidays, and started running toward the castle until they spotted mrs harry. potter said "harry who are you doing in" harry's hand was in his pocket, and pulled out a twelvefoot mountain troll, and ron took a deep breath and picked up his face he had almost broke.[/quote] Why does this exist

Did some of the SGC2C transcripts [CODE] waiting space ghost: ( overlapping moltar ) now because i have a better plan that never would have worked with zorak running around eating the desk and the monitor cryst-- ( the monitor breaks and falls down, breaking into pieces) space ghost:... als. Moltar is the monitor salvagable? Moltar: no you don't want it to set itself back up. Space ghost: ( laughs ) i don't think that it's going to do anything except what i tell it to do. ( The monitor switches to fire as creepy chanting emanates from the studio ) space ghost: i think we have to go now in a motorized car. zorak: yeah,i'd like to have a life ( the trio jumps out of the studio through the window ) space ghost's lifeless body is shown to be torn in half from impact, moltar's ass is through the floor, and zorak is a bloody corpse zorak's body regenerates graphically, flesh bubbling as it reforms. Zorak: well i just came out of the dumpster into the woods to honor a little problem of justice (roll credits ) space ghost... ( static ) space ghost... ( static ) space ghost... ( static ) space ghost [/CODE] [URL="http://botnik.org/apps/writer/?source=8b6de18be835c23f3028dc7bf2195f5d"]early-stilted episodes[/URL] [URL="http://botnik.org/apps/writer/?source=db80dbaf81602ac3638c1314364e61a4"]'97-04 (Post Zorak voice-shift)[/URL] [URL="http://botnik.org/apps/writer/?source=fc128f9ad93d3499023e7976347b9545"] [as] episodes only[/URL] I've also found that a big problem with this is that it starts spitting out the same phrases, not analyzing what it's said before aside from chaining.

Holy goddamn hell, my sides now reside among the stars.

[QUOTE=MattTheSpy;52973589]I wonder if since all the text in this is from the original Harry Potter books, it would be possible for someone to take the audiobook recordings Jim Dale did and splice up an audiobook version of this.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;52974016]I wanna hear people liveread this and try not to burst into laughter every other line.[/QUOTE] Will this do for now?
