       | "bomb- ware".

       | In a similar vein, there's DeLorean Ipsum, which I often use for

       | Fun idea, but I was hoping it would actually form grammatically
       | correct sentences. Also proper capitalization wouldn't be that
       | hard to implement.

       | I just tried asking GPT to generate some Gibsonesque filler text,

       | What surprised me is that I can kind of guess which novels
       | various words and ideas came from.
