Board 8 > Botnik Topic 2018: AI-influenced predictive writing

(+) Yeah! (+)

For those unfamiliar with it, Botnik is an app where you can upload source material (or choose from pre-existing ones on the site) and then when you write, you do so via predictive text based on that source. Ex. books, movie scripts, song lyrics, etc.
https://botnik.org/apps/writer/

You choose from a small selection of suggested words to try to make something slightly understandable (adding in punctuation, etc. on your own to make it grammatically accurate) and it usually either ends up ridiculous or hilarious. The most famous example is one written by the creators of the app: Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash
https://botnik.org/content/harry-potter.html

Figured I'd bring the topic back since I had a lot of fun with it last time.

A Silk Tie
by Bret Easton Ellis

I have a lunch appointment at Hubert's by the bar and the guy sitting with me is wearing a doublebreasted navy blue blazer. Evelyn asks me to find myself. I'm unreal.

The shoes are crocodile loafers with a business suit, which I bought at funchies casually. The two shoes are black aluminum steel and glass. I have a walkman in my Bottega Veneta briefcase. I could easily put it on my fucking unattractive woman who looks like Boris Cunningham.

"Oh gosh, why is he sitting with those dweebs from Drexel? He is probably uncomfortable at the table next to us," I say.

"You know, they really are the best, Bateman," she says slowly from the edge of the table. "Tempura is on his face. A little unusual, look." She looks up at me as if i were some kind of free antibacterial toner with a swizzle stick. I want to stab the bitch when she turns away, but she doesn't.

I have to sit on my balls and she acknowledges me without looking up from my plate (which is not as good as the same exact thing) but I think she's a little drunk or wired. I try to make sure that timothy is drunk and then abruptly cut her tits off. I move past her quickly and then I gaze at the bar, nursing a Perrier into my wallet.

The only one who grasped the fact remains utterly mute with a large bottle of Evian water in his head. College? I think it's a fucking evil psychopath. "I have enough time to deal with this strange anticipation to have a child," Price sighs after i hang him out of my apartment window.

The Chinese dry cleaners is located twenty blocks up from my apartment. A silk tie from Brooks Brothers in my mouth feels like it's in my mouth. This was only slightly less interesting than hearing about Courtney's drinking problem. I'm the table.

I look over at paul owen. He has on a pair of embroidered velvet pants by Bill Blass and leather Reeboks from Paul Butterfield with a white striped wool tuxedo by Hugo Boss.

"You can tell the superintendent that I have a lunch appointment at the bar next door," Paul laughs sexily. He points at the bar, and i mutter to myself. Unreal. He has registered to get us drinks at Harry's, a new Californian place on the upper west side? No one gives a shit about the massacres in Sri Lanka, but he manages to get a reservation at Harry's?

"Oh really? I think i hear McDermott asking Price who i am. You know what? You better have reservations; Evelyn and I think he licks his plate like some kind of cretin and I can't shout back at him without reservations." I pull out my gazelleskin wallet and slap him away from the bar.

"Have you been gaining weight?" Paul asks.

"I am thinking about how crazy unattractive leather shoes are!"

written by @Tom_Bombadil, based on Johnny Cash lyrics

The road to happiness
the water i got
the devil's gon na cut'em down

i was born drivin
and i ain't dangerous
my soul is heavenly

and the flames went higher
to the cross over jordan
the sweet by and by

to the river side of town
i was singing this song
the tennessee mare just a baby

my body would blacken
and i couldn't claim
my heart is ringing and he walks with me

written by Johnbobb, based on Winnie the Pooh movie scripts

[ narrator ] as pooh continued searching all over for you, piglet grunts.
[ piglet ] oh dear, oh dear, friend. Oh no it's a- aaaah!
[ pooh ] oh yes, piglet. Run out of things to chew? I suppose i really ought to go back and do it
[ narrator ] piglet loved it very much. so piglet started bailing. Oh my goodness gracious.

[ pooh ] good morning light! What a strange day for harvesting...
[ christopher robin ] it is a good thing i noticed you, pooh bear. Uh... Pooh bear?
[ pooh ] they made me. I was just going to taste it for you. It was definitely a thistle bush.
[ christopher robin ] what are you doing?
[ narrator ] ignoring his tummy, he fills it with things that are sweet.
[ christopher robin ] why are you doing nothing? Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
[ narrator ] pooh left feeling unsatisfied and a little out of sorts.

[ narrator ] And so, pooh decided to visit his thoughtful brother eeyore.
[ eeyore ] if you ask me to keep him company, no interruptions.
[narrator] eeyore thanks the honey pot. the honey pot takes the only reason for being.
[ eeyore ] Oh good job, i can't see now. Someone has come to get the last thing i have.
[ pooh ] happy windsday!
[ eeyore ] Oh shucks, it was just one of my sister's eyes... they tried hard to get us but i'm like a shaggy rug. I am stout and quiet.
[ pooh ] oh.

[ pooh ] how about lunch? it's a very important thing.
[ tigger ] What are you doin' impersonizin a tigger? Uh... Uh... What a pleasant surprise.
[ piglet ] it certainly is a very light lunch.
[ pooh ] The wonderful honey honey is on my rear, of course.
[ tigger ] what kind of big joke is this?
[ piglet ] A rather discouraging one.

You wanna kiss the girl, this is the one spark a friend needs to say you'll do it right here on the ground. I won't come so much that you feel it goes in your eyes.

christmas day on earth
christmas is the time to say
you know that i need you baby

christmas and a partridge
christmas in the caribbean

a wonderful christmas and a happy new york
to me my love i see
my baby gave to me a guardian angel
to be good at christmas'cause nobody wants to be good

christmas baby please
christmas for me where the love circles around
and the sound of children in paradise

The sun has come back
by Cake

you don't flicker like fire and burn like cigarettes
you think i'd burn like candles in smoky spires
i want to love you madly i'm too late
i want to fly away i'm too late 'cause

nobody's little dogs take it all away (cool)
chain people just like you kick the sand
but she doesn't have to look no more and
she wants a car with a long jacket

your love was just a glance away
and it's sad i just can't even play piano
i'm squirrels now and i'll just drop by
and you expect me to be free

Hermione looked at ron and ginny. She sighed heavily as though she had just been forced to gaze up at dumbledore. A few seconds later harry realized that he was not sure whether or not he would need to see the name etched with rage. Harry looked around at the others and he was surprised to see that the murder of harrys tearful professor mcgonagall had come to be rather bloody. He could not see his wand and clawed at the front of his robes, reaching for a moment before hermione raised her crocodile and pulled open his head. ron and ginny were drowned in their seats. Hermione whispered something to ron and then laughed.

so I put in the script from Big the Cat's level in Sonic Adventure:

Big: [ wakes up ] "huh... Er... Wha... What's wrong with you? Something's not right."
[ froggy jumps inside chaos ]
Big: "waaaaaaahhhhh"
[ froggy escapes ]
Big: "yoohoo froggy! Come out wherever you are... Thanks"
Big: [ sniffs froggy ] "uh... There's no tail... Don't worry pally, run away again."
[ froggy swallows big ]
Big: "where am i? Froggy!"

gonna try to make a Sonic movie pitch tonight into tomorrow

I'm going to regret this

I can't imagine it'll be worse than most Sonic fanfiction.

I fed Botnik the entirety of Kingdom Hearts' script and wrote this masterpiece of a scene.

The ground rumbles softly outside while sora runs along the path to find the keyhole.

Maleficent: you see sora, kairi might be easy, but i'm the strong figure standing in the alleyway!
Sora: riku probably won't crash and he screams a little!
Goofy: gawrsh.
Sora: yeah, let's get going!

Kairi places her head in front of rabbit.
Donald: hey there, how about making me burn so we can save alice?
Pooh: oh dear.
Sora: what do you expect to see that the gorilla hides?

Leon picks up a rock and begins spinning wildly around as goofy points upward to the heartless.

Pinocchio: oh right, then, where did the heartless appear from?
Sora: wait 'til the keyblade chooses its master! I need a group of brooms carrying buckets to fight back with!
Pinocchio: that's against the rules, sora.

Tarzan: jane near.
Sora and company search for her.
Cid: i hear she's the mess in the coliseum arena.
Donald: no, you're the man standing next to ariel every day.
cid: hmm, right.

Jafar: my final friend in the world is this mysterious rabbit scurrying across the tiled floor.
Riku inspects the floor next to him.
Riku: i hope you know why we got this thing.

Goofy: hey there, ya know where we can find jasmine?
Jasmine: i'm watching the heartless appear behind that small house.
Sora: oh.

Sonic and tails are seen unconscious before eggman. Eggman gets his gun and starts firing at sonic as amy runs up with knuckles.

Amy: sonic... I'm not scared of eggman's body
knuckles: yeah sonic... I'll destroy these pests and get your girlfriend a little action.
Eggman: ha ha haaaaa i am the great and powerful king. You must not believe you can help them.

Eggman turns toward knuckles and amy and then jumps inside a giant mech. He aims like a nightmare. Eggman pauses for a moment before his gun is seen destroying them.

Tails gets up with a sad expression and the master emerald contains special powers. Now he is holding froggy but sonic is teleported to the sky. Sonic enters a door and kicks the chaos.

Tails: sonic has taken back last chili dog. You don't know what's happening.
Eggman: oh no.
Sonic: hey guys you know how fast i am? Time for some revenge!

Sonic jumps at eggman and starts laughing. The deadly hedgehog is in the center of eggman's gems. Eggman turns away from him as sonic opens his hand and tails looks.

Sonic: you must stop.
Eggman: bwahahahaha sonic... I'll get you for this!

Sonic and tails raise their swords and then they make mincemeat out of eggman's body

[ the egg carrier ]
sonic: hey there! Please don't worry about your girlfriend!
Tails: i hate you... Doctor eggman!
Eggman: what? You jealous fools! Tails is just too easy.
[ sonic and tails walk up to him as the screen moves to the sky. it is seen that zazz and zomom threw them to where they are.
zazz: yeah... Maybe...
zomom: i am sir percival of the seven world rings.
Erazor djinn: ugh... Sonic has been a giant talking egg that is useless to me

[ sonic grabs his mustache and tails is taken by the animals ]
caliburn: you are the blue hedgehog again but i don't know what the heck is going on
knuckles: yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
Amy: sonic! Look what happened to sonic!
Rouge: hmm... Precious little aliens are surrounding him and he is a total bonehead
shadow: i didn't expect to find them fast enough... I'll never doubt the master emerald.

[ gamma walks to the exit. amy is looking at sonic and he notices amy.
Sonic: oh no... It's a chaos control tower
Gamma: insuficiente data unavailable
knuckles: what do you mean by that?
Gamma: resistance is futile!
Rouge: this is rouge reporting from the sky deck. I am a blacksmith.
Gamma: go inside of this planet and get out of casinopolis.
[ knuckles jumps onto the transporter and sonic runs towards him ]

[ sonic and shahra are in evil foundry watching the ifrit sink in the lava until knuckles saves her and sonic starts falling down. ]

[ in the mystic ruins ]

tails: hey man... There's something that i think you're ready to do, sonic.
Sonic: oh yeah?

Tails looks over at amy. Amy walks over to sonic while holding froggy.
Amy: look here! This thing has everything you want to squeeze.

Sonic sees amy and starts to walk away.
Sonic: hey guys! I'm not like that!
Tails: that can't be right. You have to make sure you know that thing is really nice!

Amy spots eggman heading toward the ground from the sky.
Amy: sonic! You can't let us down! So maybe you can enjoy this.

Eggman flies towards sonic.
Eggman: what? Tails, who is in front of me? I can't believe that blue hedgehog is the one who shall have the ultimate snack!
Sonic: no way! I'm not a bad monster, you guys! I can't even try this.

Sonic runs off into the forest. Tails looks dumbfounded.
Tails: we should have given me the emeralds.

Knuckles appears from the underworld.
Knuckles: yeah yeah... Maybe eggman is carrying a sandwich?
Eggman: well yeah... You know how to get more, knuckles.

Knuckles heads to the altar and starts punching the master emerald.
Amy: i wonder what happened here?
Tails: oh, you know...
