I have recently discovered videos where people read botnik generated text, and they are hilarious. If my understanding is correct, botniks are programs that have been trained on source texts like a neural net, but instead of coming up with new text all on their own, they work more like predictive text, giving a few suggestions, which a human writer then picks between. So you get the random hilarity of neural nets trying their hardest, but with some structure supplied by the humans.

My favourites so far are Botnik Writes A Syllabus and Botnik Explains Bitcoin.
