So, there are a lot of fake "I forced a bot to watch X hours" posts about nowadays, so for those unfamiliar with Harry Potter And The Portrait Of What Looked Like A Large Pile Of Ash, it is legit... sort of. There is a machine involved, but rather than a markov chain generator or a recurrent neural network, it's a predictive text interface, like that used by object dreams, trained only on the text of Harry Potter books. Humans are involved to choose the funniest of the three or four suggestions the interface will put up each word, and the text of Pile Of Ash itself is assembled from a large number of more independently generated snippets of this type, again by a human.
That is actually the most disappointing thing I've heard all year. The year is 2020. You didn't have to dispel the magic, yet maybe that's my bad for reading comments
Who told you that the editors picked the funiest phrases? As far as I know, they only used the phrases so the story had a sense. They used the phrases with story telling and style in mind. So if you sense any organic freatures in this story, it's the editors work not the machine itself.
@@palatablepainting1218 i heard it on a podcast, the creator's said that they edited it together. It just made random sentences that they then put together.
