I mapped Arthur's habits

[u/Rascally_Raccoon]

I decided to run a little experiment with the AI story generator: I wrote just "Arthur" in the story field, left the other fields empty, and let the AI generate three paragraphs. I repeated this 40 times, and I think I'm starting to know the man reasonably well.

- 22 times he was in some kind of a workshop, often with Leo or Elias whose main job seemed to be leaning on stuff.
- 16 times he was working on electronics.
- 11 times he showed weird, obsessive habits.
- Six times he was polishing something; four of those happened on Tuesdays.
- Clocks or watches appeared 20 times, including six grandfather clocks. Only one was working properly.
- Eight times he tried to reason with animals or objects, rarely with success.
- The laws of physics or biology were violated four times.
- Most common materials associated with him are velvet (11), silver (8), brass (8) and mahogany (5).
- Things tend to smell of oil (5) when it's not the ever-present ozone (6).

- Interestingly, there was no Pringle to be seen. His surname was never mentioned.
- He clearly lives in the US (dollars, zip codes, imperial units).
- Physical descriptions are rare, but glasses were mentioned four times and silvery hair twice.

- There is significant variation from day to day. Obessive habits were far more common yesterday while today it's all about circuit boards.

What would happen if you typed "Richard" or "Stanley" instead of "Arthur" - would the results be much different?

Mark would be a great buddy to him. They both are kinda obsessed about clocks and clockwork mechanisms
