A developer built a 'Law & Order: SVU' episode generator and it's perfect
We need more Law & Order: SVU. Luckily, developer Scott Luptowski has a solution with episode descriptions generated by a computer program. Sure, SVU can seem slightly robotic already, but to be fair there are only so many variations of "I want a lawyer" that you can write before you're just saying nonsense. After building a script to pull episode descriptions from Hulu, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, Luptowski used a tool called a markov chain to automatically predict text based on the existing episode summaries. Luptowski told Mashable in a DM that he then ran the episodes through the chain hundreds of times to find the funniest results.
