InspiroBot is, as its home page puts it, “an artificial intelligence dedicated to generating unlimited amounts of unique inspirational quotes for endless enrichment of pointless human existence.” Very unique inspirational quotes. Imagine someone takes all those generic-sunrise-photo “Believe in you!” posters and puts them in a blender with Chicken Soup For the Soul, then uses a robotic algorithm to put the pieces back together (“Make yesterday your rival!”).
There was an article about the Bot in this year’s Bathroom Reader, so I headed over to check it out for myself. I was not disappointed. My very first try generated “Bend over with your buttocks inwards as much as possible”, which I think we can all agree is a principle to live by.
Other timely words of wisdom:
“Change doesn’t exist.”
“If you are not enjoying a dangerous cult you might just be psychotic.”
“Only when you learn to face other people’s monsters, will you be face to face with a girlfriend.”
“Mainstream parents slave. Better parents annoy.”
“If you are not afraid of alliances you are underestimating what alliances actually means.”
Thanks for this M, I, S. I’ve some people on my Facebook feed who are constantly posting glurgy "inspirational’ bollocks. Let’s see what they make of these.

“Don’t report neighbors while they’re at the loo” - Ok. I can live with that.
“The flat earth does not impact spontaneous combustion.” - hmm…
