A Thunderclap For Lazy Mermaid. [ It’s mostly here to take advantage of my mind’s own ability to create sensible sounding sentences in the gaps between the readable content, without paying attention to the fact that these “understandable” gaps don’t always make much sense. I think that’s part of the reason why the sentence generation is so hard — we should probably say “Generating a randomly selected, sensical English sentence” rather than “Creating a high fidelity generated random English sentence” In the same spirit, using random characters seems to make the output much more legible and has a similar effect to adding noise and jitter to random numbers. In fact, I am now considering introducing randomness into programs as a general way to create “artificial” grammatical forms and sentences. This even helps with “breadth” of comprehension of the meaning of things, which would otherwise depend entirely on the meaning of a particular sentence generator. Update 7th September 2015: I’m now using an algorithm similar to the one I originally provided in my first sentence in this post ]
