By the time we get the technology to do that, we could probably build an AI pratchett that generates great works perfectly within his style and quality. Like that black mirror episode but slightly less creepy.
- mattkevan 9y agoOoh, I wonder what would happen if someone fed all of Pratchett's books into a RNN? Would it generate new Discworld stories, or would it rip a portal into the Dungeon Dimensions releasing the eldritch horrors that dwell within?
- gnode 9y agoIt would produce superficially Pratchett-sounding prose with no coherent plot.
- LeifCarrotson 9y agoPresumably, the RNN would be deep enough to recognize that "a coherent plot" is a component of the work on which it's being trained and which it must generate. But not so deep that it generates eldritch horrors.
- OtterCoder 9y agoThat would be a fantastically deep network. Current AI can sometimes keep track of what's going on until the end of the paragraph. A novel's worth of threads to track is simply too much for the naive toss-it-in-a-wood-chipper approach.
