Chew on this!
I gave the robot the first line of Lorem Ipsum to chew on, usually rendered as “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.” I have no idea what I thought it would do.
Lorem Ipsum is kinda sorta Cicero, but deliberately scrambled a bit. Graphic designers use blocks of this nonsense text to do layouts so that the design isn’t overshadowed by any actual meaning.
It supposedly goes back to a 15th Century typesetter, which come to think of it is as far as typesetting goes back. It’s gone in and out of fashion (currently: in). In this day and age, you can get a computer to generate it for you, any length you like.

p.s. trying to talk myself into a subscription to the music robot. Black Friday sale: £40 for a year.
