No one else is concerned about the several long pumpkins that fell out of McGonagall??

He wasn't proud of that, but it was going to be hard to not have spiders all over his body after all is said and done.

Nothing is more wholesome than Harry Potter falling down the stairs for the whole summer!

This was not written by an AI. It was written by humans, who chose the next word from a set of several. No more advanced than the 1/2

7 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 2

algorithm that suggests the next word on your phone keyboard, and no more independent either.

Little surprised at how it built up and followed a rudimentary plot. It's not just random reassembly of words and phrases.

7 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Except it's probably humans picking the best examples out of a never ending stream of un-funny rubbish.

If someone fell down the stairs for an entire summer and then came after me, I'd probably be worried too.

I want to know which "ai" writes these, I keep seeing them, but aren't aware of a learning AI that behaves like this.

I bet you are an AI trying to fool us.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Turns out it's http://botnik.org/content/harry-potter.html (thanks @allthegoodonesweregone ) This app uses predictive text to give you 1/2

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

a series of words to pick from, you can then insert your chosen word and it will give you a new set of words to choose. 2/2

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I can guarantee you that there was a lot of picking and choosing out of a lot of complete rubbish to come up with the final results.

7 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 0

I half wonder if it's basically just a predictive text system (like on your phone) having been fed a novel.

7 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Yes, pretty much. Most likely a Recurrent Neural Network of some sort. Sam basis for Google Translate, etc. See the link I put for an intro.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

But see I don't recall a time at any point in the harry potter series where anything was dipped in hot sauce, suggesting human interference.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah, it could be completely fake, or more likely the writing was "AI assisted" but humans were free to take whatever liberties they liked.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Perhaps also given a basic dictionary and knowledge of rules (eg: adjective describes noun)

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Update: That's exactly what it is, a predictive keyboard writing assistant: http://botnik.org/content/harry-potter.html so mostly human.

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Wow It just gives you a word bank and you fill in the gap. so less "AI analysed" more "AI watched while human played Cards against humanity"

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Can't decide if that was done by an actual AI or just a smart human pretending to be an idiot. On one hand, there is just way too much >

7 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 1

The hot sauce cemented it for me. The books never mention hot sauce. Why would the AI throw it in?

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I guess because it's close to something the books do mention. You're probably right though, it's way too good for comedy to be real.

The AI probably generated a lot of them and they then picked the one that sounded the best.

Someone seeded predictive text with Harry potter than someone used it to write by choosing the predicted words.
