On the other hand, cherrypicked excerpts can be terrifyingly convincing: "What is the best way to login to my Ruby application in a browser via Perl?"

We've all been asked a question like that and had a cold dread creep over us as we try to formulate a response...

Indeed, there’s something almost unsettling about text that initially appears to follow a sort of internal logic, yet doesn’t. Some of the results read like a programming fever dream:

“I set each thread * pointer, adding a new thread and in a loop inside this function. The thread would be immediately on the thread, but the thread resulted in the exception. If I return the thread to the first thread and finally the thread is left, the thread doesn't hang, and I couldn't kill thread # 1 - because the thread method made first thread calls the native thread. But, the thread is waiting for the thread blocking and all the other threads to be started. In other words, the thread is always destroyed.”

Another gem: https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/17035

"I have got a big "someone" who will be going to be using the asp.net site.

I have a black box and a background in firefox, where they have a width of 100%.

They will never know of a color.

They come from a background color."

Film starring Liam Neeson?

Unsettling is exactly the word. https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/16662 leaves me trying to work out what on earth the poster's really trying to do - even though I know full well that there is no poster...

I presume this is due to tokenization or something, but there's a lot of extra whitespace in the code samples that make them look very unrealistic:

  def _ _ init__(self, default): 
  " " " 
  See if the default value for the field on a view is 
  timespan. 
  " " " 

   
   value  
   value
And indentation is also missing completely. Maybe you need to use another NN to guess which language the fake code is in and autoformat it accordingly!

It is, the tokenizer isn't reversible (and it adds spaces all over the place).

But a lot of these I should be able to add to my regex that converts the output back into more human readable format (in the raw output, there's a space before every punctuation mark so I already remove those extraneous spaces from periods, commas, etc).

I just haven't gotten around to adding in any heuristics specifically for code but adding a bit more post-processing is on my to-do list.
