My NaNoGenMo (National Novel Generation Month) project for 2023 is at https://github.com/mmoskowitz/NaNoGenMo-MMXXIII , and the novel itself is at https://github.com/mmoskowitz/NaNoGenMo-MMXXIII/blob/main/novel.txt
This text is a myriad of epic nonsense.
That is to say, this is 10,006 lines of Latin dactylic hexameter, which is syntactically and metrically valid, but which makes semantic sense only accidentally. From Lȳsidamus spatham honōret holarcticus almam (May Lysidamus from near the North Pole honor his nourishing sword) to Arachnae ballia depsant, (Arachnes knead custodies) this has been composed by a program that makes use of a lexicon extracted from the Latin entries in Wiktionary, and assembles them like Mad-Libs into different sentence structures within the constraints of dactylic hexameter. There is no narrative and a very limited set of sentence structures, but it was an interesting exercise to build (and does not contain any machine learning) and I hope it is enjoyable, though I certainly wouldn’t recommend trying to read any large part of it.
