“If one seeks to get a boyfriend, one way to start is to get famous.” This one actually makes a lot of sense.  
“Eat the yellow snow. Don’t just contextualize.”

_Try wasting time_

Done and done.

\*Never say “Thanks”. Say “Blah Blah Blah”  
\*  
\*If you are your true self in the storm, you don’t need the storm.  
\*  
OK, that was kinda profound.

‘First they plan for you, then they spy on you, then they grease you.’ :eek: (The background was a desertscape with an alien-face road sign, which is even :eek:er.)  
‘Animals are sexy.’ 😕:eek:  
‘Cunnilingus is fun while it’s happening, but embarrassing to look back on.’ :dubious:😛  
‘Without pride, there can be no humiliation.’ Actually, not a bad one.  
‘Does anyone trust clowns?’ (Colour important.) No.  
‘You are a misanthropic piece of meat.’ … Well, I guess? 😕  
‘Don’t think of it as a threat, think of it as a personal attack.’ Ones like this actually make me wonder if it’s really random.  
‘If we all work together, we can make presidents change their minds.’ And this.  
‘You’re funny.’ Thank you!  
‘Cognition is evidence of the entropy of the inconceivable.’ Over the picture of a ghost sitting in front of a grave marker. Not sure if it’s inducing existential dread, or spooky-horror. \>\_\>

“Relatives become relatives because of bravery.” I rather like that one. Like it’s telling me to quit fucking around and ask that pretty girl at Starbucks for a date, 'cuz you never know. I have no idea what it has to do with the picture, though. (A woman holding an unpeeled banana).

I’ve gotten at least one repeat- “Tell people you are playing with yourself” over a picture of bloody hands- so there seems to be _some_ less than random aspect.

I was trying to look up some background information about how the quotes are generated, and there’s nothing I could find other than some vague allusions to AI. But I don’t think it’s any sort of true AI like those neural networked recipes, color names, and heavy metal band names that I’ve seen before. [(Here’s an example of what I’m talking about.](https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/neural-network-recipe-generator/))

The lack of any information from the developer makes me suspect that this isn’t a “true” AI but something that is either template-based (i.e. Mad Libs style) with random words pulled from a database of words, or something of that nature. But it doesn’t seem to be the classic sort of AI project of “let’s train the AI on a corpus of inspirational messages, etc., and have it come up with its own.”

I love these.  
“Be clever and multiply.”  
“Suppressing your own destiny is hard work, until you practice.”  
“Search for free publicity, and you shall find an epiphany.”

Going with the theme, there’s the [Random Logline Generator](http://www.lifeformz.com/cgi-bin/idea/idea.fcgi) (can be used for writing ideas):

“A dictator and a horde of ugly baby-sitters compete for prize money in a pub.”  
“A quartet of odious bug-eyed monsters has a major breakdown in a dungeon.”  
“The schizophrenic clown neighbor of an astronaut prepares a banquet at a luxury resort.”

I got one that showed the [Evangilizer dude running from the natives](http://generated.inspirobot.me/092/aXm3570xjU.jpg) on North Sentinel Island.

It beseeched him to “Engage in Leadership”. 😛  
ETA: It showed him running toward a stone wall but I think it’s just metaphorical cuz the Sentinelese don’t do walls.

“You don’t need the truth in order to run for public office.” Ain’t it the truth!  
“Together, we can make presidents lose sleep.” Crap, is InspiroBot counting on me to start the revolution or something?  
“If they tell you that you can’t invade a country, do it anyway.” With a picture of a guy parachuting. Crap, it _does_ want me to start the revolution.  
“Attending a family dinner is actually a bit like getting beaten up.” Only when they start talking politics.  
“Remind yourself that it’s OK to be quite superior.” Words to live by.  
“Rule #2: You shouldn’t have to feel bad about being new.” Now, THIS, I can get behind, no joke.

“Maximize knowledge.” Why in the blue _hell_ are these words attached to a picture of a nuclear explosion?!  
“Be the reason why your paperboy gets an involuntary erection.” Whaaaaaaaaat.  
“If we all work together, we can make war spread across the globe.” This one actually has a historical precedent.  
“You don’t have to blow up the world to fight depression.”  
“Please don’t ejaculate.” That’s what she said.  
“Before sex, comes the perversion.”

Bad life advice:  
“Smoke. You won’t regret it.”  
“Get pregnant. It’s OK.”
