botkowski

@_botkowski is an X bot inspired by "My Computer" by Charles Bukowski. In that poem, he describes the reactions after buying his first computer: colleagues—and even his editor—feared the machine would end up writing his work.

In "My computer", Bukowski replies:

me? I want to go the next step beyond the computer

This bot fulfills that ambition: it extracts vocabulary from Essential Bukowski: Poetry and recombines the words to create original content on X, preserving his grammar and style.

The bot was born in the Bot Garden workshop, coordinated by Canek Zapata.
