Slack Randoms: The Best AI Generated Pinkbike Comments
Slack Randoms is going to be a little different this week. Rather than bring you a collection of the weird and wonderful from the bike world and beyond, we're instead going to concentrate on the stellar work of one pb user, @charliewentoutside.
On the Pinkbike Podcast a few weeks ago, we discussed what happened to the Microsoft Tay bot - an artificial chatbot that was programmed through interactions to say some less-than-PC things and was shut down only 16 hours after its launch. We wondered what would happen if someone tried to simulate the Pinkbike comments and @charliewentoutside made it a reality.
They created a Twitter account that tweets AI-generated Pinkbike comments, trained from a library of tens of thousands of comments over the past couple years. In their words, "Should I have wasted my time in this way? Absolutely not. But I did, so there it is."
We've been having a great time sharing these comments around the office in the past few days so we thought we'd use Slack Randoms to share them with you too. If you want to read some more and follow all of them in the future, you can find them at @ExcitedPinkbike on Twitter. Here is a selection of our favourites:

Goats are like mushrooms, if you shoot a duck, I'm scared of toasters.
How'd I go? I'll be honest, I didn't major in English.
no haiku. Syllables go
five, seven, then five
Our Pinkbike comments
Will a robot do better?
Sessions assemble
Pinkbike is the dream
We are just living in it
Still, I hate e-bikes.
I had a Session
Or maybe it wasn't one?
They're all the damn same
I know a dentist
His bike is better than yours
Why did we skip school?
Enduro dreams
Chasing fame and slaying loam

Thiss, yess, kill it with fire.
The MTB industry is more dangerous than the military.
Although the (current) most recent tweet is pretty coherent
The most annoying thing about Internet is that you have no idea what kind of stuff you are talking about.
Thank you @charliewentoutside!
But AI got a lot to learn, problem is the people in control of AI right now are mostly rich psychopaths?
Are they at least running the AI bot on a raspberry PI hooked up to a $10,000 ebike that only powers the AI when pedalling, or what I have coined comment assist (TM).
So that isn't WAKI who is back, it is an AI bot....All makes sense now.
The end is near....next the AI will be going on the ride for me....We are all part of the matrix...
"Note: These comments where not made by an AI bot" will be added to all my comments from now on
Note: these comments where not made by an AI not!
"Two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force, the embryo becomes a fish that we don't enter until a plate, we're here to experience evolve the little toe, atrophy, don't ask me how I'll be dead in a thousand light years, thank you, thank you. Genesis turns to its source, reduction occurs stepwise though the essence is all one. End of line. FTL system check, diagnostic functions within parameters repeats the harlequin the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes, neuronal network run fifty-two percent of heat exchanger cross-collateralized with hyper-dimensional matrix, upper senses, repair ordered relay to zero zero zero zero."
