This hilarious tool creates a Twitter bot that talks just like you, kind of

Cloning people isn’t legal or even entirely possible (yet), but this might be the thing that comes closest.

ChatLike.me creates a bot that talks just like you. Or at least, kind of like you. It looks at your tweets and puts together an alternative Twitter personality, including an endless supply of tweets that kind of sound like you. And with ‘kind of’, I mean they are absolutely hilarious.

You don’t actually need to create a new handle or even log in with your Twitter account to use the service, because it scrapes your tweets from the public website.

After putting in my Twitter handle it quickly came up with the first few tweets it derived from my previous data:

However, that doesn’t make it less fun — it came up with a ton of ridiculous messages that make me sound like a creepy, tech obsessed hermit.

If you’re looking to weird up your Monday, this is a quick and easy way to do so – no login necessary. So what’s stopping you? Go and create a weird version of yourself right now.
