It's funny that the article ends up describing Pratchett's L-space almost to a tee. Perhaps he's just reading the wrong genre and that any discussion about the humanities is not best served by leaning to science only.
It’d be interesting to see if you could get something like GPT-3 to heavily weigh a given author’s corpus when generating output and see what it spits out for “Detritus and Carrot walked into a dwarf bar...”
Detritus and Carrot walked into a dwarf bar.
"How do we get in?" asked Carrot, looking around.
"That's a good question," said a dwarf. "You look like you're from far away."
"We are. We're from Arbouretum."
"That's a long way away."
"That's where the Arbouretum are from."
"The Arbouretum?"
"Yeah."
"What does that mean?"
"It's a long story."
"I've got time."
"I've got no time."
Still thanks for posting. I found it interesting ;)
I guess that's when the fight breaks out, followed by a round of songs about gold.
