Well it turns out I didn't have the story straight in terms of who issued the challenge, but I think in terms of who would overwhelmingly win I'm still correct

The Onion is doing a bit right now and it is pretty damned glorious, I gotta say.

Is the NYT pitchbot the most successful comedy bot to date? I mean, these have to be heavily curated - they're just way too good.

I did laugh my ass off at Batman Loves Him a Criminal.

But yeah NYT Pitchbot is clearly not actually a bot. AI Restaurant Names is a bot. NYT Pitchbot is satire.

Yeah, as I mentioned I figured at minimum someone had to be going through and picking the corn out of AI turds. If it's just a guy writing everything himself, he's picked his target and really knows how to nail it well.

AI Restaurant names is fucking great. We need some of those as actual restaurant names.
