I fed a neural net 270,000 words of Trump campaign speeches for the @NewYorker and nobody can ever make me do it again. https://t.co/uY5OQuSSK7

Methods: Individual sentences (and sometimes groups of sentences) are exactly as the neural net output them. I did select the most interesting sentences, though, and arrange them in an order that (if not exactly making sense) at least flowed better.

Neural nets used:

Writes text letter-by-letter: https://t.co/p1SEkv9nGb
Writes text word-by-word: https://t.co/3OICLYIcFa
The outputs with nonsense words were mostly from the letter-by-letter neural net.
What the creativity level means: This is the "temperature" setting. At the lowest temperature the neural net always writes the most likely next word/letter, and everything becomes "the the the". At the highest temperature, it chooses less probable words/letters for more weirdness

That's in contrast to this neural net (not mine) which trained for over a month on 82 million Amazon reviews. https://t.co/siYiWzzx3p
