Palin Generator, Chatterbot October 2, 2008 - by Ian Bogost Two similar Sarah Palin generators have burst onto the scene like a moose-bound shell from a shotgun. The first, Interview Sarah Palin is a text generator that crafts answers to a few fixed interview questions, each varying slightly as it generates itself from the same base of Palin material. The second, PalinSpeak, is a simple Palin chatterbot that derives its materials from the now-infamous Katie Couric interview, and presents that situation as its scenario. Both use Markov chain models for text generation, although as the chatterbot demands, PalinSpeak also deploys the typical inversions and defaults of that form. PalinSpeak was created by Georgia Tech Digital Media PhD student Doug Wilson and Brendan O'Connor. Interview Sarah Palin offers no published credits. POST A COMMENT
