gollark: You can harvest them, you just might not be allowed to privacywise.
gollark: The Stanley Parable had some great ones.
gollark: They don't contain information, so it would totally work.
gollark: I wanted to automate presentations with a language model and a bunch of formatting templates but never got round to actually doing it.
gollark: It *would* be very funny, though.
