magritte_bot is a Twitter bot that generates random versions of Magritte's The Treachery of Images. The bot picks a random noun from a list, then downloads the first Google Images result. The bot was written in Python, and tweeted twice a day per a cronjob running on a Raspberry Pi in my dorm. The bot was featured on the "Robots on Typewriters" podcast.
