Summary
A 114-word comedic curio (complete, not truncated): r/totallynotrobots (humans badly pretending to be robots) meets r/SubSimulatorGPT2 (GPT-2 trained on subreddits), so GPT-2 imitating r/totallynotrobots yields 'a robot pretending to be a human pretending to be a robot pretending to be a human.' 'We live in an age of wonders.'
