# I think your headlines are a bit more believable.

i mean seriously somebody pays him to write this drivel? I was thinking of making another one, but I don't think I can do better than this. Only idea I had was "I'm knitting all my navel hair into a jumper for my dog"

# Maybe use "I'm knitting all my navel hair into a jumper for my dog"
as the basis of a random headline generator
"I'm verb all my noun into a noun for my dog/wife/best mate/old boss/cat/goldfish"

good idea. i was doing an elon simulator before xmas. generated tweets like "we will all be using flying cars on jupiter in 7 years" but it got samey way too quick

*edit* so i wrote some code to download all his healines, went into Cursor, selected GPT5.2 and said basicly "analyze and extract meta patterns and lists of replacments"... and then i see it generate in advice.json

"a beard will not fix your problems, it will only document them",

this could turn out amazing lol

**edit 2. first run**
A genuine treat for £1.60? Try realising I'd been queueing for the wrong thing.
I went to a lift that isn't moving to ask a simple question and discovered that the machine was judging me personally
I went to an airport departures hall to print a label and discovered that I am much more annoying than I realised.

# It appears to have a similar cadence but unfortunately not much meaning.
I wonder if that means it would work as chilesisms for non-english speakers, Like chinglish on consumer goods but for newspaper article headlines.

these things are never perfect unless you hand curate a list of every single item in every single line (which this is possible to do).

that was just as an example of what it generated off the bat without me touching it. just iterated through getting gpt to extract a search term for an image for the item or concept. got it to generate a script to search wiki commons.

some good, some bad. will probably have to make an editor!

# ha!


words just extracted from his article titles and jumbled up. also generated a local webserver based editor for the json files which will do wikimedia search. hardly touched a line of code. scary.
