Having fun with cognitive dissonance
I got these two gems from the A Midwestern Doctor blog.
1) New Age Bullshit Generator:

This generator produces stuff that sounds plausible, but when you read it you scratch your head and wonder, “What is the point?” Click on the Reionize Electrons button at the top of the page to generate a new script.
2) Postmodern Language Generator. This one is scary because it generates a meaningless and frustrating word salad that mirrors academic papers by "experts." We hear EVERY DAY on the "news" from bureaucrats who testify before Congressional committees, and "expert" talking heads who inhabit network talk and news shows. Maybe these people are reading from scripts generated by these AI tools! It’s scary to think that cognitive dissonance is the language of our government (and media), which has turned inward on itself and the people it is supposed to assist.
The Wylie publishing group recently deleted 19 scholarly journals with hundreds of nonsense peer-reviewed AI articles that read like this.

re New Age Generator: I don’t like to criticize those seeking spiritual awareness. I myself have written a self-help book and a book titled “Dialogues, Conversation with My Higher Self,” which was my attempt to answer questions about life, the universe, and everything.
I know that many people are striving to connect with higher awareness. However, there are also marketers and con men out there who try to take advantage of well-meaning people by writing stuff like this. These are people who have no understanding of self or spirituality, and are just interested in notoriety and money.
Because I didn’t want to be classified in the Airhead / Space Cadet category with my spiritual writing, I wrote a math/geometry textbook about three dimensional solids called polyhedra. I figured it gave me cred with those who still have the ability to think rationally.
I think the New Age generator writes pretty good spiritual gobbledygook. The Postmodern Language Generator is frighteningly close to the reality of ScienceTM, and academic and bureaucratic doublespeak. See for yourself.
Have fun with these two generators!
