Each of these sentences below was generated at random by a computer algorithm. (For the moment, this algorithm is named "Let Sparky Write It," but that will probably change...)
Sparky uses a Markov model derived from books in the Google nGram "English One-Million" dataset, together with other hacks. From http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/info:
The "Google Million". All [these books were written] in English with dates ranging from 1500 to 2008. No more than about 6000 books were chosen from any one year, which means that all of the scanned books from early years are present, and books from later years are randomly sampled. The random samplings reflect the subject distributions for the year (so there are more computer books in 2000 than 1980). Books with low OCR quality were removed, and serials were removed.
Enough boring intro!
