Batman as written by a bot

[cyberghostface]

Keaton Patti "forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Batman movies and then asked it to write a Batman movie of its own". Matt Shults later adapted it into a comic.

These aren't actually written by bots though

[cyberghostface]

I know.

How was this written? Is this the same as those predictive text things, or what?

[cyberghostface]

Stuff like this is just the writer making up a script that sounds like a bot would write it. This article goes into details about how an actual bot script would be.

Well that kind of takes the fun out of things a bit. That’s still funny, but that’s a bit dishonest to say this is written by a bot if that’s more written in the style of a bot.

It's an odd update to the Literary Agent Hypothesis, for sure.

This is amazing!

Now I know how Neal Adams created Batman: Odyssey. He must've used a bot too! I mean, c'mon: "Hah! My father! Ha, ha, ha! Sworn to secrecy. Ha, ha! Such a thing... such an octopus of a thing. And I have only an inkling!"

Yes, I as well realize no actual bot was involved. If nothing else, the "over 1,000 hours of Batman movies" bit should be a tip-off. Even if you included the 1940s serials, fan films, unauthorized commercial overseas films and such, the total amount of Batman-related film footage wouldn't be anywhere near 1,000 hours' worth.

Odyssey was clearly not written by a bot. Bots would be more coherent.

My favourite line is 'You drink water, I drink anarchy'. Definitely something I can imagine modern edgelord Joker saying.

"It contains a coupon for new parents, but it is expired. This is a Joker joke." *Chef's kiss"

It really is great companion to that "Give me my birthday present" meme floating around.

I was expecting for batman to slap joker. After batman got and saw the coupon.

Touché joker touché. Lol

"Two-Face and One-Face"

Did they also feed the bot some Dr. Seuss?

"I do not like goth eggs and ham..."

The idea of Two-Face throwing a person like a coin is absolutely amazing and should happen in an actual story.

It would have to be a pretty jacked Two-Face though. Maybe he could use a child.

This is amazing.

We never got to see Alfred give birth to Robin and I'm almost disappointed...

[lbd_nytetrayn]

That this rivals most of DC's own output over the last decade or so...

"I am such a freak. Society is bad. You drink water I drink anarchy"

I see that the same bot that wrote this story also wrote the script for the Joker movie....
