Ron eats Hermione's family: Computer writes Harry Potter

[mfb]

A team of software developers fed the seven Harry Potter books into a "predictive keyboard" program - originally designed to help writing text, e.g. with mobile devices. And then they just let it write a few pages.

Here is the full text

Some sentences look realistic, while others are just absurd, and the whole thing is quite funny to read. Ron doesn't stay the only one eating Hermione's family. A few quotes:

Magic: it was something that Harry Potter thought was very good.

Ron threw a wand at Voldemort and everyone applauded. Ron smiled.

Harry could tell that Voldemort was standing right behind him. He felt a great overreaction. Harry tore his eyes from his head and threw them into the forest. Voldemort raised his eyebrows at Harry, who could not see anything at the moment.

I think I once wrote something similar. What the program really does is creating a word list from the input and generate a set of statistics related to the words. The output is created through the use of random numbers and the word statistics. The output looks quite OK until you try to make sense out of it (because there is no sense at all).

Hilarious comedy! This is brilliant and stunning how decent it reads. Any indication they will continue with the story generation?
