It is too bad. Reading The Policeman’s Beard is Half Constructed it is pretty clear to me that it was one or both of:
1) nearly every grammatically accurate combination of a human-chosen lexicon being constructed by a computer and then heavily human-filtered
2) a human writing a simple program, getting the feel of the basic computer process and then repeatedly emulating it for artistic/comedic effect
My money is on 2, as it is more fun and less work, especially when you consider it was the early 80s. Still at least the work of a human-computer hybrid in some sense.
