The Dada Engine

The auto-generation of text noted in this post is in fact pretty lame compared with this glorious achievement: a web-page that, every time you refresh it, writes a new academic essay. Not just any essay, either, but one guaranteed to get you good grades if you are enrolled in a humanities course in Britain or America, or indeed anywhere else that has been comprehensively hegemonised … See? Even I’m doing it!

A sample:

In a sense, Foucault suggests the use of the neotextual paradigm of discourse to read and modify society. Sartre uses the term ‘posttextual rationalism’ to denote not, in fact, deconceptualism, but predeconceptualism.

However, the neotextual paradigm of reality suggests that the goal of the poet is deconstruction, but only if Lyotard’s model of the neotextual paradigm of discourse is valid. Baudrillard uses the term ‘posttextual rationalism’ to denote a dialectic totality.

It would be almost as funny as the Sokal Affair, were it not that its database is so abominably accurate.
