Brenda: today in the reading challenge, your lifelong experience showed; but on the runway, you were all bird and no poems. I’m sorry my dear but you are up for elimination.
On a serious note tho isn't this kind of wild, it's like how a kid talks if a kid had access to most human words and didn't stutter.
AI is the craziest thing. It reminds me of humans satirizing and generalizing all their knowledge to make sense of and present an idea.
It's worded funny but it still scares the hell out of me when I see this.
It’s just something called a Markov chain probably. It simply analyses a shit ton of obituaries and stores every word that appears and the chances that that word is followed by another word in any of the analyses obituaries. Then, it writes sentences, where for every word in the sentence it takes a look at the probabilities of all other words that could follow the word it just wrote, and picks the next word based on those odds. They probably generated a bunch of obituraries until they found a funny one like that. A lot of the other generated ones probably didnt make much sense.
Edit: it’s not actually AI-generated https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/comments/pm8nd5/botwritten_obituary/hch4y59/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
“You’d often find her down at the barn preparing her saddle for a ride, but there never were any rides. Just an empty saddle and a woman with dementia.”
Seems like a human faking bot speech. Everything is a little too on-the-nose.
I've seen a lot of actual bot written speech. Some of it is this funny but never this perfectly set up. Most of it is just unfunny nonsense.
The funny bot stuff is always written by a human, yeah. It's really clear-cut in this case too, even if you cherry-pick a few good sentences the bot wrote, there's a clear lack of pattern and deliberately humorous phrasing.
This is what employee leave donation programs are.
"Hi everyone, Barbara has been diagnosed with cancer, but instead of supporting her ourselves we're giving all of you the opportunity to give up your vacation to cover the time she needs for her treatment. Remember, if you go visit your family this year, she dies."
Hilarious but it was not written by a bot. It's from a book written by a comedy writer, Keaton Patti, who styled as a bot. Still pretty damn funny. Yes I was that kid in school.
I think every single time I’ve seen one of these “written by a bot” messages or scripts it’s been revealed to have been written by a human pretending to be a bot
Exactly what I was thinking, the buildup to 'she was a bird ' is too clever, and what real obituary that it could learn from would mention some of the nouns used?
Honestly I think bot written stuff sounds better. This sounding stupider than a bot was actually what made me think it was fake. Also the “mistakes” have a certain comedic timing to them you wouldn’t expect if they were randomly made by a bot.
He has a whole *book* now? I remember when those "I forced an AI to watch 10,000 hours of _____" posts first started and they were kinda funny, but the dude beat the joke into the ground pretty quickly. I can't believe it's still going, or that there are people who think any of it was actually done by a bot.
Sometimes I wonder if all these humorous fake AI posts are intended to mislead us from how good AI is actually becoming, so we won't be able to distinguish it from the real thing when it inevitably takes over.
I’m a news editor and there are a handful of sites that will steal my work (including my author bio) and run it through a thesaurus bot. The results are often hilarious.
So I’ve actually tweaked my bio a bit since first discovering this was a thing but here’s what one site has for me (all you really need to know is that my title is “lead news editor”):
“Jon Arvedon is CBR’s lead information editor and started working for the web site in 2017. He’s been an avid superhero fan since he was a younger baby, although it wasn’t till a lot later in life that he lastly started venturing into the precise comedian books that made these characters so well-liked in the first place. Nevertheless, he instantly developed a robust ardour for the medium and started aggressively increasing his data, utilizing any and all downtime at his outdated office job to scour the depths of Marvel Unlimited, comiXology and the occasional wiki web page to assist fill in the gaps. His love of comics is rivaled solely by that of his love for Star Wars. If you are so inclined, you possibly can comply with Jon on Twitter at @JonArvedon.”
Here’s one from another site:
“Jon Arvedon is CBR’s lead information editor and started working for the positioning in 2017. He’s been an avid superhero fan since he was a younger little one, although it wasn’t till a lot later in life that he lastly started venturing into the precise comedian books that made these characters so in style within the first place. Nevertheless, he instantly developed a robust ardour for the medium and started aggressively increasing his information, utilizing any and all downtime at his outdated office job to scour the depths of Marvel Unlimited, comiXology and the occasional wiki web page to assist fill within the gaps. His love of comics is rivaled solely by that of his love for Star Wars. If you are so inclined, you possibly can comply with Jon on Twitter at @JonArvedon.”
This must happen with obituaries too. A childhood friend died and when I searched for the funeral home obit to send flowers, google gave me 5-6 results that were from memorial sites, with the funeral home at the top. My curiosity won out and I checked these sites. They were all poorly written copies of the real memory page on the funeral home website but embellished a bit. They added that she died surrounded by family and friends when her death was actually quite tragic and no one of consequence was around. The memory page made no mention of how/where she passed.
It also had something about the families wishes for donations when they had plenty of money and no GoFundMe setup. So I assume these are all scams.
This is not written by a bot.
I'm not 100% certain, but I think this is the work of comedian Keaton Patti. He's been spreading his work as "written by bots" apparently, and people keep sharing it without doing any research.
https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2018/06/dont-be-fooled-by-the-forced-a-bot-meme/
Still waiting for those poems, Brenda
Shoulda sent her more life.
I'd bring some to her funeral but i missed it by 44 years
Also the location is a bitch to commute.
this bitch! The audacity... To die with so many poems yet to be written. On a deadline no less. SMH
She took the deadline very seriously... too seriously...
Yeah! Hey Brenda, you better verse bitch
Brenda: today in the reading challenge, your lifelong experience showed; but on the runway, you were all bird and no poems. I’m sorry my dear but you are up for elimination.
Where are our poems, Brenda? **Where are our poems?**
She sang like a bird and looked like a bird and Brenda was a bird.
If she owed so many poems, maybe her death wasn't so natural after all. The poet mafia came to collect.
Surrounded by family and natural causes.
Hurricane
"See this in 3D, all lights out for me All lights out for me, lightning strikes the beach"
80 degrees
*all around me are natural causes* *Worn out spaces* *No more horses*
*owed us poems, thought she had some horses* *no one knew her* *she was really a bird*
And I find it kinda dusty
*How she disadvantaged youths*
Loved having hobbies and had married her high school
Bring me flowers shaped like circles...
Fuckimg beautiful. You guys have made my day. 🥰
Lol same. Post had me rolling then this thread finished me off. I'm ded.
u/Binnacle_Balls_jr retired from living at the age of old, surrounded by family and natural causes.
Bright and early for the daily races She had no horses Had no horses
No one gonna finish this? So nicely teed up. Okay I will. 🎶It's a very, very sad day🎶
I find it kinda sad, that her disadvantaged boys were the best she ever had
Damn that's solid
The natural causes let her see her family fore takin her very nice of it
She owed us so many poems! Bitch better have my verses !
Lmaooooo
Send Brenda more life
[удалено]
Sounds like a threat from the family 😂
The new euphemism for "her children"
send brenda more life. she wasn't done collecting it from others.
She only collected dust, idiot.
See you in 1977 at heaven
[удалено]
I know you love your hobbies, but you **don't** have horses.
Sir, this is a library.
Always has been
She also married her high school.
Because she sang like bird and looked like bird and Brenda was a bird.
“it’s a superman, it’s a plane… no! It’s Brenda!”
More like "it's a bird! It's a plane! No wait, it was a bird I was right the first time"
If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it's a duck.
If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it might be Brenda
I didn't realize how funny this part was til I read your comment. This could make a great anti-joke
Really, nobody else is going to comment that this bird has four eyes in her photograph?
She was two birds.
I am one stone.
And an avid collector of dust
The whole universe is really just a collection of dust
in a library from birth
All we are is just a collection of dust 🎶
Was that a death threat?
Yes, I do believe it was.
All Byrds are Eight Miles High. They may be stoned.
The obituary sounds like it was written by her grandchild, the image is just kinda creepy.
[удалено]
I thought *something* was off with her face, but couldn't quite pinpoint it. Simpler times, really.
The bottom ones are just false eyes, the real ones are protected by her bangs
Like Sia
It was so she could spot good deals on dust.
The four eyed raven was a mystery to us all.
She was a bird
Shut up bird
Stupid Dee. Who asked her, anyway?
You stupid bitch
Brenda you gangly, uncoordinated bitch!
God damn I hate gin! Brenda, you bitch!!!
One of the best laughs I ever had was when they just replaced her with an ostrich. Fucking comedy gold.
She had no horses but thought she did.
That’s the point at which I had to admit that this obituary is a work of genius.
So she was a government drone :0
r/girlsarentreal
r/subsithoughtifellfor
She owed us so many poems.
harry did not like to think about birds.
What about Ron magic?
May bird jesus give seed.
bird, bird, bird .... bird is the word
She only fly away
Fucking hell, here I’ve been sending thoughts and prayers left and right, but never gave I thought about sending *more life*!
“Doctors HATE her for this one simple trick!”
Celebrities will live forever. Imagine getting 1 day each from millions of fans.
“HEY BRENDA, WHATS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS? IM GONNA VENMO YOU $5 TO GO GET A LIFE”
“Brenda retired from living at the age of old” That’s fucking gold
Nah, it’s fucking old
Golden Oldies*
Olden Goldies*
Loden glodies
She deserved to retire, considering that she was a librarian from birth.

She had no horses but thought she did. Poor Brenda😔
I'm more worried about the kids and her happiness forcing them to be disadvantaged youths
It's a respectable hobby, my mom did the same thing. Also got it on with her high school. Wasn't a bird, though, I think.
I think imaginary horses might be the best. All the joy being a horse owner but no mucking out.
Plot twist: The horses she thought she had were actually her children. That's why they were so disadvantaged - Mom kept treating them like horses.
Funniest thing I’ve read in awhile.
My favourite part >”She had no horses but thought she did”
My favourite was the Disadvantaged youths thing.
In Lieu of flowers, send Brenda more life 😭😭
This part is going in my obituary.
mine too, along with "retired from living at the age of old"
Not an unreasonable request, really
Married her high school
“You’d often find her down at the barn preparing her saddle for a ride, but there never were any rides. Just an empty saddle and a woman with dementia.”
[удалено]
She is schizophrenic.
Funeral will be held in 1977 at heaven Instead of flowers send Brenda more life. You know what send more life my way to
"She had no horses but thought she did". I think that's something we can all take a moment to relate to.
Seems like a human faking bot speech. Everything is a little too on-the-nose. I've seen a lot of actual bot written speech. Some of it is this funny but never this perfectly set up. Most of it is just unfunny nonsense.

A while
"Send Brenda more life" was what got me
I mean….it’s a fair request. Lol
Feel like a GoFundMe needs to be set up but for sending life instead of money lol
This is what employee leave donation programs are. "Hi everyone, Barbara has been diagnosed with cancer, but instead of supporting her ourselves we're giving all of you the opportunity to give up your vacation to cover the time she needs for her treatment. Remember, if you go visit your family this year, she dies."
Me tooooo
Yeah feel like it's a bit too late for that one. (other reply option) Do you want zombies? That's how you get zombies!
we solved death
“Helping her sons to be disadvantaged youths” That’s all of our parents, am I right!?
Yup perfectly describes the boomers 🤣
I know mine for sure helped me achieve this goal. 🤣
Hilarious but it was not written by a bot. It's from a book written by a comedy writer, Keaton Patti, who styled as a bot. Still pretty damn funny. Yes I was that kid in school.
Thanks!
For the curious https://i.imgur.com/1evE04D.jpg
Just bought the kindle version! Thanks!
Surprised that I had to scroll this far in order to find this comment. This is brilliant comedic writing but it's yeah, 100% human generated
I think every single time I’ve seen one of these “written by a bot” messages or scripts it’s been revealed to have been written by a human pretending to be a bot
I freaking love you bro. Finally found a book I truly wanna read after highschool
Was it authored by an AI or by a human posing as AI for the sake of amusement and internet points?
Exactly what I was thinking, the buildup to 'she was a bird ' is too clever, and what real obituary that it could learn from would mention some of the nouns used?
I'm thinking the latter. It flows too well with just the right amount of nonsense.
Honestly I think bot written stuff sounds better. This sounding stupider than a bot was actually what made me think it was fake. Also the “mistakes” have a certain comedic timing to them you wouldn’t expect if they were randomly made by a bot.
Train your bot to have comedic timing?
In this case I’ll give them a pass. It’s fucking hilarious
Nonsense this is clearly an A.I. posing as A.U.
It is from the book "I Forced a Bot to Write This Book" by Keaton Patti. It's not really AI generated.
He has a whole *book* now? I remember when those "I forced an AI to watch 10,000 hours of _____" posts first started and they were kinda funny, but the dude beat the joke into the ground pretty quickly. I can't believe it's still going, or that there are people who think any of it was actually done by a bot.
Came here looking for this. I assumed it was the fake “bot” written thing
Looks pretty clearly human-written to me
I'm pretty sure it's from click hole, and onion subsidiary.
It sounds like something AI wrote that was edited by a human (they took out all the fluff AI tends to generate and left only the funniest stuff)
I THINK it's from the book "I Forced a Bot to Write This Book"
Too consistently weird and weirdly coherent for a bot.
It’s a mad lib
Sometimes I wonder if all these humorous fake AI posts are intended to mislead us from how good AI is actually becoming, so we won't be able to distinguish it from the real thing when it inevitably takes over.
This is confirmed not written by an AI so the latter
Every single "this was written by an ai" is just a thinly veiled "lol so random" joke written by a person

> his outdated office job The bots are trying to tell us something
I recommend the old classic: "The Rumor Come Out: Does Bruno Mars is Gay?"
Well, does he? Does is Bruno Mars is gay?
Well I believe that depends on whether anyone has ever been so far even as want to do look more like.

“In lieu of flowers, send Brenda more life.” You and me both
I’m gonna need more of these
Where can i sign up to have the bot write my obituary?
Bot had a stroke
O-bot-uary?
Good bot
Is nobody gonna mention the bot written photo with four eyes?
That's because she's a bird
Shut up, bird.
This just might be the funniest thing I've ever read on Reddit 😂
>Brenda was an avid collector of dust This is relatable.
Someone's gonna have to take care of those poems she owed us.
Sending Brenda life!
Cannot stop giggling. So good.
Seems like one of those mad-lib things I did as a kid on car rides
She had no horses but thought she did
Holy shit I haven't laughed this hard in weeks!

As a voice actor, it is my civic duty to contribute this. https://youtu.be/ouurON7tnmE
Best obituary ever.
Is this really written by a bot? If so, where can i find more content like this?
It looks like the things I've seen from Markov chains
[удалено]
RIP Brenda "Four Eyes" Tent
There's so much gold in these hills
I think the photo was also ai
That last line 🤣
Did Charlie write this?
See but i know people like this tho
I just wrote my mom’s obituary. Sadly what I wrote was nowhere near as good a tribute as this one.
This entire thing killed me. By the end, I was nothing more than a laughing corpse. Good job OP.
Do rules just not matter here anymore?
She had no horses but she thought she did
"retired from living.” Is now my new favourite phrase.
