In each of the generators, there was a set standard of conventions each genre had to follow. The comic strip consisted of multiple boxes and each one added on to the last. Each box helped the story or joke move forward. The comics were also colorful and pretty short. There was not a lot of text in each box. It seemed to keep text to a minimal amount in every scene. The scenes are either very comedic or very full of action. At times the slides do not make sense, I think that is because the generator is random and is just following the conventions that a comic must have separate scenes, scenes that build on each other, and there has to be colors.
The computer science paper generator also made up stuff that did not completely make sense. Even though it did not make sense, it still looked the part. The conventions of the paper were that it had to have certain parts and titles. All of the papers had a title, abstract, intro, related work, methodology, implementation, analysis and interpretation, conclusion, and references. It is similar to any science piece of writing. The papers also contained lots of graphs and charts to make it seem more scientific and make the data easier to interpret. What also made it seem realistic was the fact that everything was plain and simple. nothing really stood out, nothing had color, everything was black and white and followed the conventions of looking like a boring old research paper.
The final generator was the meme generator. All the memes were funny, short, and had only one or two pictures. The memes use the image to make their “point” and make it in a sarcastic or punny way. All the genres had the same features, just different words or pictures. This is the same for websites that help people to create resumes. In these resume generator sites, one simply puts down the information needed and the website takes what it gets and puts it together following the format of a typical business resume. Another generating website is easybib.com, it helps students to make bibliographies quickly. You simply mark what format you want, MLA, APA, Chicago, or any other, and type in the info asked if you have it. Even with missing information you can still make a decent looking bibliography. By studying these generators, one can better understand what a genre is. If they look at all of these generators, they will eventually notice how every single genre looks the same but if slightly different from one to the next.
