Got 6/8 right. The computer ones have a whiff of 'matter of fact'

I'm getting results of 3/8 out in the bricks. These are well-educated people. They are incredulous.

I got 5/8 but its harder than you would think it'll be - I do think sports reports and actually poetry are comparatively easy for computers to write as they follow general rules - much harder to discuss an abstract concept or include a simile...

Interesting how they are testing their spam bot. Make it a game.
