There was a very popular Twitter account that was tweeting out a similar concept (starting way back in 2015, even!) https://twitter.com/RoboRosewater

LoadingReadyRun, a very popular MTG YouTube channel, even did a cube draft using only cards that were generated by RoboRosewater that I thought was funny to watch https://youtu.be/UuG5YLbwsQk

LoadingReadyRun frequently has done RoboRosewater and other AI MTG card segments during their Desert Bus telethon for charity.

There is nothing so funny as seeing these folks, sleep deprived and loopy, trying to read out these cards without being incapacitated with laughter. I've seen double and triple takes from just looking at the card combined with what the AI called it, and once they did a segment called 'Is It Playable Or Is It Not' off these cards that was very special... riffing straight-faced about pro strats on how the cards are played, except the cards are gibberish, so some offhand remark corpses the whole room...

Oof, now there's a name I have not heard in a long while! Has it really turned into a MTG channel? It used to be first and foremost a sketch comedy group that would occasionally do gaming videos.
