You ever wanted to write a formulaic thriller, sell it to boomers, and cash out big time? Look no further! November is Novel Writing Month (nondenominational) and in honor of the season of slapdash bullshitting, I converted a certain famous author’s formula into Mad Libs™ so you can easily write one of your own! Save a copy of my Secret Thrilla Document before I delete the link (EDIT: deleted!) to keep myself out of trouble, and replace all the all-caps text with your own material – then get to writing!
Chop chop! I wanna see my comment section filling up with Billy O’Nairs!

Heh, for the short form someone else recently created ‘Artificial Incoherence’, training an LLM to generate sufficiently English-looking but random text by limiting its training set: Incoherent Social Media Posting Made Easy
this is no joak! my document is real. do u want a bank full of money or not?
also do u remember my generally pro-AI stance? im nonmutual with anti-AI as an article of faith for leftists, as much as i am in favor of pouring gasoline on the trashfire of xitter.
in fact, I had considered including in this article a suggestion that somebody could use my format in conjunction with chatGPT as a way to cheese it, but didn’t feel like courting controversy at that moment.
OMG is it a robo John Ringo?
my doc is not automated, but it gives a format you could use to interrogate a bot, and arrive at a john grisham / tom clancy / dan brown type pile of bullshit. i think in a year, the best chatbots will be able to do this with less guidance, but for now, having a frame to guide what you get out of them, that’ll help keep them on task, keep them from forgetting important details. then u just dab a lil rub n buff on that shits, get a manly pen name, and watch the dollars roll in.
for my part tho, i am going to just try to write the old fashioned way, because i like to. now that there’s a court precedent for not being able to copyright AI content, i wish my robo-wranglers good luck in their endeavors.
