Whether copyright law would allow it is another debate. If anything I hope it prompts lawmakers to fix copyright law in some respects!

wikipedia). It is a standard probabilistic model that allows you to
generate “human-sounding” phrases. You don’t actually sample all
possibilities uniformly randomly, but rather bias the sampling towards
combinations that make sense. These probabilistic models are learned
from vast text datasets.

I once made a simple name generator for games based on 3-grams; you can check it out by googling “python namegen”.

Get off my lawn! *shakes cane*

I’m sure I’m not the only one that got played by this work of Conceptual Art.

Four in a row… many words are very easy to guess just based on the previous one or two words. Heck.. whole articles which are entirely computer generated have passed scientific “Peer-Review” including plots and all. Maybe my bash got out of focus a bit, but… several “systems” we rely on today are so flawed… it is ridiculous. No reason to do your best under such circumstances.

Animals who take pictures or make pictures even with your camera make you unable to copyright it, so seeing AI is not a human either, in accordance with current laws that would mean IBM Watson and other AI’s information that is produced technically could not be copy written either. wonder if anyone has looked into that ;)

Are you sure you’re not looking to find ‘man bear pig’?
That’s more “real world” than anything you’ve said here.

I’m super sereal!
