how did this article end up with "parody generator" as the "most common useage"?

surely 'random text generator' is the most common term, no?

unsourced article with a phrase that isn’t common usage

Text generation is associated with computer science topics. Links come in to this page from the Markov chain page—a major pillar article and core topic. It’s confusing for general readers to then stumble into an early 2000s beehive of Perl culture, not covering procedural generation in videogames, everything that happened around Markov chains and grammars in the 2010s etc. And of course, there’s also a whole lot of other cultural changes and mayhem that has happened with the emergence of large language models after 2017–2018 and ’synthetic media’ emerging as a term that encompasses AI text generation.

So ‘parody generator’ takes on a whole different connotation in the 2020s where text generation is much more common and highly developed. The origins documented in a bunch of these pages and redirects document a much smaller component of the long run history of these technology, computer science, literature and digital culture threads than they did at first. See also the delete discussion for the Chomskybot page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maetl Encoder (talk • contribs) 09:39, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
