> In your absence I find other forms of amusement.

I was unimpressed until this one at least.

> Never pet your dog when it is on fire

Got this one after a few refreshes. After having just read through a handful of statements, most of which can be understood as a complement, I sat there trying to figure out how to take this obvious advise as a complement before realizing I was trying to make sense of AI garbage. Then I had to appreciate the silliness of the whole thing and had a good laugh.

I like this as a nod to both human nature to behave normally when faced with abnormal circumstance - and the reminder that that is not actually the right move.

Normally you’d just pet your dog - but if your dog is on fire, you need to not pet your dog, you need to do something else.

> Woe is me, for I must forever more huddle, unminded, in the dark shadow of thine undeserved engine of procreation.

Wow.

> You look like someone who has lunched poorly and who has no expectations for dinner.

Some juicy morsels in there!

This is all copped from a Hungarian phrasebook, isn't it?

Feels like AI slop but the UI is 1998, so I’m very confused…

It's just procedural generation. And even if it's AI, some people who use AI like retro UIs, too ;)

Haven't seen a cgi-bin for a long time!

Markov chains my boy (guessing)

This one was pretty reasonable: "The perils of your eyelashes torture my libido into a state of crass belief in Roman Catholicism"

Reminds me of the old random joke generator that was on the Brunching Shuttlecocks ages ago. That thing would have me in tears.

This stuff is gold! If only they could be converted by AI into pictograms. Why? Instant hipster tattoos!

> May you always be as vivid as your hallucinations.

It's got a few gems in it.

Seems rather NSFW btw

It does?

“I love your eyes, but only with ketchup.”

You know what, that’s fair, each according to their tastes.

Edit - holy shit, this one is unhinged:

“If I were to combine your blood, toes, and hair, it might not be you, but it would be enough for my basic desires.”
