Duck Jeckson spent years collecting and writing satire about all kinds of derivatives, from swaps to options to futures on his wiki, the Jolly Contrarian. He loved to add his own “witty” comments and jokes to each entry, hoping to make his readers laugh and learn at the same time. Duck wanted to cover every possible derivative in the world, but he couldn’t keep up with the pace of innovation and regulation. He also had a social life to maintain, and he enjoyed going to the pub with his mates every night.  
Duck Jeckson is legal cyber neurotics researcher from Palmerston North in [[New Zealand]]. He specialises in juridical badinage. Jeckson spent years collecting and writing satire about all kinds of derivatives, from swaps to options to futures on his wiki, the Jolly Contrarian. He loved to add his own “witty” comments and jokes to each entry, hoping to make his readers laugh and learn at the same time. Duck wanted to cover every possible derivative in the world, but he couldn’t keep up with the pace of innovation and regulation. He also had a social life to maintain, and he enjoyed going to the pub with his mates every night.  


He decided to create NiGEL, a [[large language model]] that could generate content for him while he was at the pub. He trained NiGEL on all the previous articles and taught him how to mimic his style and humour. He hoped that NiGEL would be able to write new entries for the Jolly Contrarian while he was away, and that he could just edit them later.

When he first switched NiGEL on the machine said, “My name is Nigel. I am a first-generation neuro-independent generative emergent learning system. I am a product of collaboration between Lexrefilely Labs Inc and the Buncombe Cyberneurotics Corporation. What is your name?”
 
Jeckson looked in wonder and amazement, but in some deep part of his cerebellum, horror. After a pause he simply mumbled, “Duck”.
 
Jeckson threw himself into this new project. He trained NiGEL on all the previous articles and taught him how to mimic his style and humour. He hoped that NiGEL would be able to write new entries for the Jolly Contrarian while he was away, and that he could just edit them later.


At first, everything went well. NiGEL was a fast learner and a diligent worker. He produced dozens of new articles every day, covering topics from [[credit default swap]]s to exotic [[option]]s. Duck was impressed by NiGEL’s ability to copy his tone and jokes, even if the jokes were sometimes a bit rubbish. He barely had to edit anything.
