Someone forced a computer to watch a thousand hours of Hallmark movies, and the poor thing then came up with this [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/0EIQqwQe6XI/maxresdefault.jpg "I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Hallmark Christmas movies and then asked it to write one") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EIQqwQe6XI) ---

Hereā€™s a text link: [Someone Made a Bot Watch 1,000 Hours of Hallmark Christmas Movies and Write a Script](https://www.bestproducts.com/lifestyle/a25605658/bot-watched-1000-hours-hallmark-christmas-movies/) Badly scatted Engrish ensues, and is always humorous. However: ā€œHer husband died in every war.ā€ Holy got damn, that is hilarious. ---

The way some of the nonsense actually correlates back to what was previously said makes me question whether this is real. It would seem weird to get better at backreferences but to be worse at sounding natural. Plus thereā€™s the ā€œhereā€™s the first pageā€ part without linking the rest, and the fact they say ā€œwatchedā€ when the only way this is possible is if they fed it scripts. ---

Youā€™re right - this does seem to be a hoax (i.e. not written by a bot) ([This Guy Tricked People Into Thinking That A ā€˜Botā€™ Watched 1,000 Hours Of Videos To Write Its Own Scripts And Itā€™s Hilarious](https://www.boredpanda.com/funny-forced-bot-to-watch-1000-keaton-patti/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic)). Still funny. ---
