a play in three acts written with a predictive text imitator<\/p>\n

source: all available transcripts of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown<\/i><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

Methodology:<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Get all transcripts of the show Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown<\/i> from cnn.com.<\/p>\n

2. Divide transcripts by character and give them to computer program that uses word sequences in a source text to suggest likely words to continue a sentence, like the predictive text function on a smartphone. The program offers a list of top options and the writer picks one of these.<\/p>\n

3. Write Bourdain lines using collection of all lines transcript attributes to BOURDAIN; write Unidentified Male lines using collection of all lines attributed to UNIDENTIFIED MALE; write Unidentified Female lines using collection of all lines attributed to UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE.<\/p>\n

4. Arrange lines into play.<\/p>\n

5. Write stage directions without machine assistance. Add punctuation.<\/p>\n

Bourdain: It\u2019s delicious to be a poet of life. I guess what I\u2019m telling you is, I am famous for my great joys and I would like to eat a big thing of the pig. A big bowl of rice might be worth dying for.<\/p>\n

Unidentified Female: We have one food here and it\u2019s very bad for sure. We can get a lot of it for you if you like.<\/p>\n
