Short Bytes:Bradley Hayes of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab has created an AI-powered Twitter bot that’s busy writing hilarious tweets. Know more about how this bot works and witness its Trump likeless.
“Trump’s language tends to be more simplistic, so I figured that, as a modeling problem, he would be the most manageable candidate to study” — Hayes tells why he chose Trump as the subject.
If you visit the AI-powered Trumpbot’s feed, you’ll be convinced that you’re reading the words coming out of the presidential candidate with a great hairdo. If theTrump-inspired programming language TrumpScriptdidn’t tickle you enough, take a look:
I’m what ISIS doesn’t need.

The DeepDrumpf bot relies on deep learning to learn more about thenaturallanguage patterns of Mr. “Let’s Make America Great Again!”.
To do this, the AI wastorturedfew hours of Trump’s victory speech transcripts and it was trained to find patterns on its own using an existing training model. The resulting patterns produce some texts that are printed on DeepDrumpf Twitter account. The bot randomly picks up a letter, then looks for the next most likely one, and keeps on imagining the context until it spots the 140-character limit.
In Hayes’ words — “The algorithm essentially learns an underlying structure from all the data it gets, and then comes up with different combinations of the data that reflect the structure that it was taught.”
With time, Trumpbot’s tweets have started giving its opinion on a starting stimulus. Take a look:
[Corruption] and it’s nasty. But beautiful. So I want to thank you. I love donors and some bad today that were right to be lost.

[Romney is ]a tool. I want to tell you this. They’re probably the last thing we need in a leader, We can’t do that.
OK, it’s amazing right now with ISIS, I tell you what? I don’t want them to vote, the worst very social people. I love me.
We need somebody that literally has a nuclear wealth, and the enemy tougher on with. And, in my opinion, the new China, believe me.
We deserve more bots like this. DeepDrumpf, keep tweeting and make Twitter great again!
