I seeded a markov chain generator with lyrics I assembled from various places of the following artists: | |
- David Bowie | |
- Leonard Cohen | |
- Nick Cave | |
- Nine Inch Nails | |
- Nirvana | |
- Tom Waits | |
- Britney Spears | |
and, using a markov chain library I found on NPM (thanks, @substack), fed David Bowie's "Blackstar" | |
in line-by-line to generate responses per line. This needs work, but I'm super happy with the tone and | |
overall effect of this first pass. | |
(when I built the corpus I didn't have this response idea in mind - was just trying to build a corpus that would | |
be fun and interesting. It seems weird to include Bowie in a response to Bowie, but also maybe appropriate? It takes a | |
pretty long time to seed the markov chain generator from 47k lines of lyrics, so I'm slow to pivot on this, but I will.) | |
