I think you're missing the point. These messages are meaningless because they're robbed of any context or compassion. I won't feel wonderful and loved because a random string generator on a GitHub readme page tells me so.

If you tell me "I like your shoes", it will brighten my week. If I see you walking from person to person, telling every single one of them that you like their shoes, it won't feel like much of a compliment. It's not nice nor thoughtful. It's just noise.

You have the right spirit for trying to make the world a little brighter, but I don't think mass-producing generic compliments is the way to go.
