this repo exists because i couldn’t not know.

jarvis johnson made a website that generates youtube-animated-story-style titles. i poked it. 500 times.

this is not an ai project. this is not a serious reverse‑engineering effort. this is what happens when curiosity refuses to shut up.

• repeatedly calls https://animatedstorytitles.com/api/title
• dumps the returned titles into a text file (one per line)
• sorts them alphabetically
• lets the patterns expose themselves

that’s it. no models were harmed.

i originally thought:

maybe markov chains?

then:

oh.

alphabetical sorting is the real classifier here.

• a colab-friendly script to dump titles politely
• a text file full of generated titles
• zero claims about how the original site is implemented

this repo is observational.

• the generator is extremely formulaic
• it does not need ai to be effective
• sorting text is underrated

itch scratched. victory declared.

• requests are rate-limited
• no scraping behind auth
• no redistribution of source code
• this is analysis, not reproduction

if you’re reading this because you had the same itch:

congrats. it’s gone now.
