Are... Are You Breaking Up With Me?

Still haven't finished Paleo post, so I figured I'd have Siri ghost-write something for me to put up today. All I did was stick with certain patterns (1,2,3,1,2,3 or 1,3,1,3, etc) using the auto-fill feature on my phone to generate the first paragraph. I then ran that paragraph through Google Translate going from English to whatever then back each time. (Yep, it's all been done before but it is Groundhog Day after all!)

What starts out as disjointed, semi-amusing gibberish somehow morphs into a dark, sordid confession of betrayal and hopelessness. Umm… Enjoy!

Original Siri-Generated Text
I guess that's what the kids are talking bout.  The best thing to be is the best of your friends. You can play the game but I don't know what it to do. You are the one I love and I am so far off the way it was made. The wife of four and four are also the one who has no interest at any other time. I guess I should be a good one to be a nice person. You are my best and best part about this game I have no idea how much you will try it.

Then English to Korean and back to English:
I think it's a bout for kids. The best thing is the best of friends. You can play but I do not know what to do. You are the one I love, and I am far from the way it is made. Four and four wives are not interested in other times. I must be a good person and be a good person. You are my best and best part of this game. I do not know how to try.

Then English to Arabic and back to English:
 I think it's a fit for children. The best thing is the best of friends. I can play but I do not know what to do. I'm the one I love, and I am far from the way it is done. Four and four wives is not interested in other times. I must be a good person and a good person. You are the dearest and the best part of this game. I do not know how to try.

Then English to Japanese and back to English:
I think it is a fit for children. The best is the best friend. I can play but I do not know what to do. I am a person I love, and I am far from the way it is done. Four and four wives are not interested in other times. I must be a good person and a nice person. You are the most important part of this game. I do not know how to try it.

Then English to Latin and back to English:
I think it suitable for children. Best friend. But I do not know what to do I can not deal with it. I am that I am far from the only way. Do not ask, which are four, and the four other wives. And the good man must be nice. You are the most important part of the game. I do not know how to try.

And finally from English to Hebrew and back to English:
I think it's appropriate for children. best friend. But I do not know what to do I can not handle it. I am that I am far from the only way. Do not ask, they are four, and four other women. And the good man must be nice. You are the most important part of the game. I do not know how to try.

Well, friends, I... I guess that’s that.  I just hope that Siri and I can work out some sort of joint custody thing…
