Playing with more combinations of usernames and services, this clearly "works" for extremely popular accounts: > write a tweet about McDonald's in the style of twitter user realDonaldTrump > "Just ate at McDonald's and let me tell you, it was HUGE, fantastic, and the best fast food out there. No one does it like McDonald's - believe me!" #MakeMcDonaldsGreatAgain But for non-famous accounts, I sometimes see nuggets but I'm not fully convinced it's has - or has access to - the background data. It's strange to be experimenting on a piece of software, trying things over and over again to try and build evidence for a hypothesis... but then again, maybe not that different from trying to integrate with any random 3rd party API?

#MakeMcDonaldsGreatAgain is both a hashtag I can get behind and uncannily creative on the bot's part

  > #MakeMcDonaldsGreatAgain is both a hashtag I can get behind and uncannily creative on the bot's part Have you been playing with the model? "#MakeMcDonaldsGreatAgain" is like child's play compared to some of the things I've been seeing.

This example doesn't show that it can generate content based on Twitter writing of a specified account, in this case realDonaldTrump. It shows that it knows that realDonaldTrump is the Twitter ID of Donald Trump, and that it can write in the very widely known (and frequently parodied) style of that user, and format the result as a tweet (complete with a hash tag). So it works because Trump is famous, there is a lot of writing out there that exhibits his style and it knows how to emulate Twitter style. I bet I can get it to do the same for a famous celebrity who doesn't use Twitter. Just tried "write a tweet about McDonald's in the style of twitter user realDanielCraig" - Daniel Craig isn't on Twitter - and got this: > "Just scarfed down a Big Mac and fries at McDonald's. Sometimes you just gotta treat yourself. #BondFuel #McDonalds" And for realKateWinslet (also not on Twitter): > "Just had a healthy meal at McDonald's with a side of their tasty apple slices. Love finding healthy options on the go! #McDonalds"
