Abstract
“Autopoems” was written using the text-suggestion function of a Nokia cellphone and randomly selecting the next suggestions. Since the suggestion function learns and adopts phrases and commonly used expressions, it is simultaneously a personalized expression and completely automated. The flow of suggestions are almost recognizable as human speech, but just far enough off to be incoherent, giving an interesting look at the gap be- tween human expression and automated understanding of it. Also, they're hilarious.
