Eh, I could see an argument for there being a similarity between setting up computer systems specifically for generating lots of pain-text automatically, and writing lots of torture stories (in what it reveals about the person doing it or what habits of thought repeatedly doing it instills) if it's for the aesthetics of the text rather than interest in the shape of human language as revealed by theory-free inference.
