Something fun you can do while waiting for TK7. Generate fake news with A.I.!

Community

I recently discovered this website that generates text from a text sample, and it's pretty good at making fake news for the upcoming album.

"To tease their new album "Pressure Machine," the Killers have once again put out a trailer for it on social media. The video teaser begins by showing the band seated in a movie theater with a projection screen."

For this result, the text I put in was "To tease their new album "Pressure Machine," the Killers have once again" and clicked generate. (Pressure Machine is a dope album name, would be a good title track)

Have fun wishing your results were reality!

Edit: here's another one ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

When asked about the song "Diamonds On Black Velvet," which was originally meant to be on the album, The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers responded: "It's always a difficult thing to remake a song; that song is one that we spent quite a bit of time on, actually. So we started the recording process really early on and spent many, many days on that song. A lot of days. It was really good music. It had a beautiful melody; it was a very pretty song. It reminded me of some John Denver songs I've heard."

"There's this song we have on the album called Runaway Horses, and it's very much about when you're young and you feel like you've got to run away from your problems instead of facing them. It kinda calls back to a time in my childhood when I felt like I needed to run away from my problems, it's a very personal song. A lot of things that happen in life make you have a realization about yourself; that you're going to be OK."

EDIT 2: Somehow I forgot the website link. Wtf. Here it is. (Also it's better to create a free account than use the demo.)

EDIT 3: So I know I've been updating a lot, but this one is actually pretty funny, it predicts the release date:

"Another song we have on the album called Pressure Machine, and it's about a relationship that was toxic; a love-hate thing, a dance between extremes."

The album comes out on April 14th.

My prompt: Just after releasing their album Imploding the Mirage, Brandon Flowers and his band The Killers have managed to single handily defeat the nazi party in the heart of Berlin. When asked by corespondents, Adolf Hitler, leader of the nazi party, said,

"Listen you sonofabitch, why don't you go back to Las Vegas, where you belong?"

Humble, Flowers replied, "Listen, Hitler you have my support, and I'll send you a copy of Imploding the Mirage when it comes out." Hitler returned the favor, saying, "I'll send you a copy of Mein Kampf. Listen, I don't really get your whole sex rock or whatever music thing, but I will send you a copy of Mein Kampf."

In a related story, Depeche Mode released an album entitled Suffer on November 9th, and the...

It got pretty fucked up, but I choose to focus on the "Listen you sonofabitch, why don't you go back to Las Vegas, where you belong?" Actually hilarious imo.

Honorable mention for "Listen, I don't really get your whole sex rock or whatever music thing..."

I copy-pasted your prompt into the site to see if it'd come up with something similar and Adolf's response was "This is the very first time I've ever been defeated in a war. I must be losing my touch." Made a reference to The Calling, too.

Mine wasn't close to as *interesting* as yours though

I asked it what the name of the seventh studio album would be and it said "It's called Wonderful Wonderful" LOL

Edit: It also listed the name of a "track" off of "Wonderful Wonderful" called "Dinosaur". So, that's interesting.
