The grammar might be better as is the sentence structure(still pretty bad), but from an information/story sense it's still about as gibberish as anything like this created before. Until AI can actually experience context, I really doubt there's any way to teach it to generate convincing stories without tons of supervision.


I've noticed that over the last 15 years, the teen supernatural romance section has grown from a shelf to rack to a row.


Chuck Tingle's NSFW dinosaur tinglers, bigfoot tinglers, unicorn tinglers, living object tinglers, and living place tinglers have become enormously popular.

Unlike the output of a neural network, his surrealistic enigmatically erotic prose is somehow coherent and uniformly stylized, makes perfect sense in terms of its own internal logic, and consistently rationalizes and explains even the most absurd topics he imagines.

Vox has covered his brilliant work:

https://www.vox.com/culture/2016/10/18/12775742/who-is-chuck...

>The secret behind internet erotica icon Chuck Tingle: his own life may be the best story he's ever written: Behind the surreal performance art, the gay dinosaur porn, and the political erotica may lie a beautiful reality.

>The list of things that Tingle’s narrators have had sex with includes, but is not limited to: the state of California; glazed donuts; the Dress; Bigfoot pirates; a gay unicorn biker and a gay unicorn colonel, though not simultaneously; Donald Trump’s attempt to avoid plagiarism accusations; Starbucks Christmas cups; a billionaire triceratops; a T. rex comedian and a clan of triceratops rappers (stand-ins for Bill Murray and the Wu Tang Clan); ghost boats; velociraptors from outer space; a secret-agent brontosaurus; the White House; the British pound; a plane; a train; a vampire night bus; his own books; press about his own books; existential dread; his own concept of linear time.

So much of it is also biting social commentary and political satire about current events and controversies, like "Pounded In The Butt By The Sentient Manifestation Of My Own Ignorant Climate Change Denial":

Or "Pounded By The Pound: Turned Gay By The Socioeconomic Implications Of Britain Leaving The European Union":

And wrote "Slammed in the Butt by my own Hugo Award Nomination":

Here's another Vox article about his troll of the alt-right "Rabid Puppies":

>Satirical erotica author Chuck Tingle's massive troll of conservative sci-fi fans, explained: Right-wing sci-fi writers tried to delegitimize the Hugo Awards by nominating a writer no one took seriously. Here's how he took them all by surprise.
