Did he build a computer that wrote fiction?

I'm mainly grabbing at potential clues in your Q's wordage but I do remember reading* a while back about someone doing or trying to do such a thing.

So that's when I played it, it was the one that was linked to from here a while back, thank you for stopping the niggling voice in my head that was questioning where and when I had played it before.
