I suspect that AI will produce stuff that is 'regression to the mean' bland. That is, it will take whatever it has learned about human expression and emit some center-of-the-road ordinary stuff. This story highlights that with tired selection of adjectives, routine irrelevant inclusion of ancillary characters and no original ideas. The AI doesn't seem to 'get it' that a Sherlock Holmes story is characterized by originality, novel dialog between Holmes and Watson and tortuous logic. It doesn't attempt to do anything Sherlockian, except use wording similar to other stories. I suppose a text generator cannot be faulted for generating adequate text. But to call it an AI is a stretch, as it shows no understanding of the genre beyond superficial. And the 'I' in 'AI' is supposed to be for Intelligence.
