https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUQDzj6R3p4 And here's a professor who made students write a computer program to discover palindromes: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~evs/papers/palindrome.ps He claims it will find "several thousand" palindromes per day, of which about 1% actually make any sort of grammatical sense, which is determined by a human reading about 1000 of them and finding 10 that are allegedly grammatical. This seems a rather slow generation rate(?), and one has to wonder whether some sort of piping of the output into an English-parser program to eliminate things that seem unparsable, could greatly reduce the human part of the labor. Their finest discovery was "Twenties acne? Encase it, Newt."
