How are these generated? They seem to have errors that neither a computer nor a English-speaking human would make. They're sort of like how a child or a person unfamiliar with English might try to transcribe words they don't recognize: >Dugan: That's Sam, the new girl in the counting. ... >Sam: Everybody told what a catty shrude you are. Your horrible! https://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheSummerofGeorge.htm https://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheSummerofGeorge.htm

Why do you think these are generated? As far as I can tell this isn't a parody site. The domain was registered in 2003 and the design clearly reflects that era. Not everything is AI today.

  > Why do you think these are generated? They mean the transcription not the general content. "shrude" ("shrewd"), "in the counting" (probably "in accounting"), and other transcription errors occur in that linked script, as examples. There also appear to be missing words in some lines.

    The word they transcribed as "shrude" was actually "shrew."

  Was it generated from humans transcribing the episodes? Was it import and clean up of subtitles? Was it generated from reformatting the manuscript? Not everything generated is AI

I would guess this is fan-transcribed. Simpsons Archive has full episode scripts up compiled from Usenet posts (1). (1) https://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/2F20.html https://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/2F20.html

    This happened to be one of my first Internet experiences at a computer lab at U of T, while my dad was doing post-grad work.

That's a typical speech to text mistake. You'll see that all the time on Youtube. Obviously speech to text was solved good enough 30+ years ago. But it could be shorthand related - https://www.reddit.com/r/shorthand/top/?t=all https://www.reddit.com/r/shorthand/top/?t=all pulled from the teletext or community transcribers.
