I don't see the point of any of this, be that the original article or your points. The idea that there is a likely continuation of the story based on a few sentences as a prompt meanders between useless and wrong. It's useless because nobody wants to hear the most likely continuation of a story. It's also wrong because there is no most likely continuation without having a plot in mind. A good writer could invent almost any continuation for any of the example stories and could make it convincing and interesting. To ask another way: What's the application of completing "stories" like that? What is the ability of doing it supposed to show? I don't want to sound defeatist, maybe I'm really missing the point, but to me this has no more to do with Artifical Intelligence than the Hidden Markov Chain story gobblers from the 80s.
