  2. Re:Travesty generators - technological arms race by Kevin+T. · · Score: 1 · on Author Unknown

    Imagine something like a travesty generator that can decompose your writing, sentence by sentence. Then, armed with a built-in thesaurus, grammatical rules, etc, it could re-cast your words into someone else's mold.

    I've noticed on Slashdot, and other WWW forums, that occasionally someone posts a bunch of text from one of these filters, or something like The Postmodern Essay Generator. I usually spot the computer-generated randomness in the text after the first paragraph, and then stop reading.

    If you're hiding, no one will notice you, so why bother writing at all?
