As happy as I am with Garkov, I’m glad I’m not (by far) the only one playing with the idea of generative humor. Here’s a couple other interesting tangents on the subject (via Shamus Young’s Twenty Sided):
- Mezzacotta, which is sort of like Garkov except without the potential lawsuit from Paws, Inc. and with sentences that more consistently come to a proper end.
- Jess Johnson’s Common Lisp Joke Generator, which trumps Garkov by actually generating coherent groaners algorithmically.
Hey! Thanks for the mention. And wow… I’m glad you did because it meant I found your stuff, which is awesome. Not just Garkov… Mulder’s Big Adventure is going on my reading list. And.. other stuff too, wow. Anyway, just to let you know, I just posted a mezzacotta blog entry about Garkov.
Ha! Thanks. Speaking of Mulder’s Big Adventure, we really need to get the next entry for that up.
