I’m not bugged too much that computers are better than me at playing chess. Or at playing checkers. Or even at suggesting nearby pizza with clear driving directions (people stopped asking me long ago, anyway *sigh*). But now computers are also cranking out novels for National Novel Writing Month, too?! Ah, beans!
Since 2013, coders have been celebrating NaNoGenMo, or National Novel Generation Month. Just like NaNoWriMo, the goal is to have at the end of the month an original 50k word novel. Unlike NaNoWriMo, the novel is actually “written” by a computer program.
Sure, the generated novels tend to be just two notches above complete gibberish. But it’s a fun, self-inflicted coding exercise, and even the failures can be hoots to read.
