I Taught an AI to Write Like Shakespeare 

So Shakespeare's sonnets end with a gg... He's a gamer.

if tech nerd and literature class nerd had a baby it would be John Fish

English Teachers: "So, what Shakespeare is trying to say in this line is..."

okay but... can we appreciate john's thumbnail game? HOW AM I FRIENDS WITH MODERN DAY SHAKESPEARE

John Fishspeare

the thumbnail is 👩‍🍳💋 perfecto

Not gonna lie, that was a bombass thumbnail. Great work man!

Great, now you're Joe from You and ALSO Shakespeare. You're one talented boi.

I hath confusion. You hath smartness ~Shakespeare~

John Fish: I Taught an AI to Write Like Shakespeare NLP Researchers: Am I joke to you?

“Can computers feel emotion?” Karen : *Am I a joke to you?*

oh my god I’m so early. All I want to say is that John Fish you have inspired and motivated me with many things especially in my studies and I’m so grateful that I stumbled upon your channel. All the love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦💓

Plot twist: That’s how Shakespeare wrote his literature

Your videos have inspired me to find time for both studies and making RU-vid videos. Thanks ♥️

John Fish is starting to sound like John Green . Love your content bro.

Bro wish I had your work ethic, keep it up you are amazing!

John Fish: *leaves RU-vid for 2 months* Covid-19: *Takes over world*

First thing I noticed, we use the same type of pen. Great video!!!

Your thumbnail is fantastic man !

if Shakespeare was born today, he would be criticized for poor grammar

Omg the thumbnail on this video is so great!

I definitely felt emotional when you read the generated snippet... maybe it was the music. Let's make some AI generated classical music to go with? So much fun John Fish!

I love the thumbnail, haha!

Oh fish ... only you would have such ideas XD ... i rly love your channel !

To me, this sonnet is about a mother passing her dissolute son onto his love interest and the dichotomy of her yearning to be freed from him and yet reluctance to allow the pain that will be transferred to the lover vis-à-vis the son. She is hopeful that this woman will be strong enough to tolerate and perhaps transform him. Anything can be poetry and have individual/relative meaning kind of like modern art and that's why neither one does much for me.

Dear josh, I’ve been watching your videos since “what is the meaning of life”. I could say is that you changed the way I think and perceive the things I do and see, I am very grateful for that. You inspire me to become someone I hope I can be. I hope one day I could meet you. Thank you

Every time you post it makes me want to get up and read or study or something. So thank you 😭

Really excited to watch the video, you're the best

where r u John?

I feel like recent video topics & thumbnails are inspired by the book "contagious: why things catch on"

John Fish, you are my motivation to code and learn more and more things...

I'm French, so even if my English is not so bad, I didn't understand a thing about how you've built your algorithm BUT it was so cool !! I love your enthousiasm and your creativity ! Your videos always make me smile.

what I was doing was not working. Don’t get me wrong, my grades were fine, low As are nothing to complain about. However, I was not happy, going slightly insane, and was stressed the hell out. I saw your video on managing everything at Harvard, and saw your growth book. I needed change desperately, so I found an old journal that looked like your growth book and started to use it to write down the skeleton of my day, as well as goals for the day. Because of this change, almost immediately, my grades, sanity, and outlook on life in skyrocketed. Thank you, John Fish, thank you. I hope to get into Harvard someday.

That thumbnail!!! 😂😂😂

This is absolutely incredible!

10:10 never seen John this excited 😂

All of John’s RU-vid titles are basically things he’s accomplished. If my accomplishments were RU-vid titles I don’t think I’d get thousands and thousands of views

dude you such a creator...that's nice and then it becomes a million times nicer because you reaching to everyone around the world and we are learning from you.

Wow! That's a real WOW! It blew my mind ! Very creative of you John! You have indeed brought Shakespeare to life. Ah! "The Shakespeare's Reincarnation". Keep it up!

John, you should do a video about your top 10 fiction books, as well as your top 10 non fiction books

You have an amazing brain and way of thinking.

No one: John: I taught AI to be John Fish. 😅😅 Kidding, you're do an amazing job!

Thank you, John! Your videos are very motivated.

I don't understand the technical language, but I'm watching anyway because this is cool. Maybe if I watch enough of these it will begin to make sense.

Lol this is cool bro. I wonder which one holds the copyright of the poem, AI or you?

Awesome thumbnail !

Anyone else fear the rate at which John's computer is learning stuff...?

Come back John.....😭 i miss u😭😭

didn't understand a single bit of the computer science of this but i'm entertained

when is the new video coming brooo??

He looks good with the beard. Could you possibly make this a series seems really cool

I find it so inspiring and impressive seeing you so passionate about these topics! Thanks for sharing this with us

Tensorflow🤩

Cool video!

best thumbnail ever!

John what happened to you where are you

Hey John when did you first learn about NNs and Deep Learning and do you listen to Lex Friedman's podcasts?

Such a fun video John! keep it up, you're amazing.

Yei, that is a great way of illustrating philosophers ideas in the philosophy of mind department. That remembers me to the Searle's Chinese Box argument, in which he showed how syntax based machines do not have a mind. The idea is simply that we are in a sort of box, and we are supply with some kind of rules (in english) of correlation between chinese tokens and other chinese ones. Then we come to practice until we master this set of rules, such that we are super fast at correlating chinese sentence to other chinese sentences. After all of this imagine that some random chinese guy sends us a sentence in chinese from a little door, or something like that, and we send him an answer for such sentence. This interchange continues for sometime, and we are so good at it that the chinese person, or whoever, would be incline to concede that we indeed understand chinese. But the problem is that we actually know anything of chinese, we are just following a set of formal rules for correlating chinese words to chinese words. Therefore, Searle concludes that there is no mind in such formal rule following because there is no understanding, mutatis mutandis neither in any machine. But is it actually true this conclution, it seems to me quite hard to swallow. It shows, definitely, that the Turing test is too libertarian and quite problematic...but can we actually say that there is no possibility of a mind there? We can easily conceive, as they like to frame things up, that a more complex machine can use information from the environment and previous experiences, all of this being in a super fast manner in order to cope with the world. Would this machine still be not understanding? Would it not have intentionality because of it's so complex system? Probably the problem lies in the assumption that intentionality is the nature of the mind, because as you know when you program things up there is a difference in how your code and the functioning of the machine look, and how the program looks to the user. There is a gap, but nonetheless is nothing under or above the former, there is just the machine and the software, right (of course trying to simplify things little bit)? Also if you go to our CNS you do not find something as a intentionality that could not be accounted by the functioning of the CNS, therefore we have again this looks to the neuroscience, and this looks to me distinction. Which leads me to say that what looks to me is nothing more that the functioning of the CNS and that there is a bias of user that leads to conceptual formulations that seem to be correct but are not, and that there is nothing that a mind can do that in principle a machine can't. What do you think about that? What kind of insights do you think programming could bring to this sort of discussion? Sorry if I wrote to much, hopefully you can see it and answer to it. By the way I am Leonardo from Mexico, have a nice day John :D

That passion...yeah, never apologize for that, sir. Love it!

Fellow CS major here, but I was just wondering how do you become proficient enough in Python and all it’s libraries to be able to do this. I’m always so intimidated to try and make these projects myself solely because I don’t understand much of what’s going on or how I’m even supposed to get the point where I can.

Love this guy

Love you John!!!

Nex video:How i taught AI to crush my harvard finals(hoping to see you on campus again:) )

Do you think you could read every book Charlie reads in “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” I think that would be interesting to see and a rendition of what you did with the show you. If you don’t want to read the entire book, he lists all 12 books on page 109 when he is gifting them to Patrick and Sam. While I was reading this book, I couldn’t stop thinking of your channel because of all the books Charlie was reading in the novel. Please consider, it would be a great video to watch! *Edit: he is given books by his teacher Bill, which are the 12 listed on page 109, but he is also given a book of poems written by E.E Cummings by his girlfriend. So, this would make it 13!

this was awesome John! I want to try and do this now!

John where are you

I am neither *First.* Nor *Last.* I see the Notification I click *Fast.* 🤗😉

This is what Yuval Noah Harari said in his book 21 lessons for the 21st century. He said computer, specifically AI, provided enough data about literature and human emotions will be able to write stories and play music better than any person ever has. No human can ever compete with that level of genius cause AI will be able to know what words and tones strike us the most and therefore will be able to create genius artwork. But of course, that's a distant future.

Thumbnail of this video leaves no doubt ;)

Shakespeare would be proud!

The groath book consept actually works

Who would want to read Shakespeare, if you have john fish and his computer?

Came here just to put a like on this video out of appreciation for that thumbnail. Love it.

I nothing understand in a generated poem..)) But the idea that you can use an algorithm to create something interesting is really great! I like your video👍Thanks

Will surely try to do that amazing

Loved it! Subscribed! I wish there were more videos of random AI bots like that.

Can we design a program that can produce thoughts of Albert Einstein? Is it possible?

I want you to be my neighbor. I'm not smart enough to learn all the things you have. BRAVO! You're amazing.

Inspiration❤️

Wowwww!! So motivated! I see you!

Man, you inspired me alot Thank you

This is so cool!

Not first, but excited to watch the vid!

Holy crap, John

That thumbnail is everything

Very interesting. I might want to try this out

YAY NEW VIDEO!!!!!!

Man looking like Lucian From underworld. Nice video as always tho.

next: i ressurected shakespeare and taught him AI

I love your videos about reading books. Can you make a video about books recommendations? 🥰

Infinite monkey theorem on my mind

Jhon, would it be possible to use supervised machine learning in order to select just the sentences that make sense? I'm having trouble thinking how to decide whether a sentence make sense or not. Best regards, nice video,

This dude is actually genius

Keeping up the good work bro 👍👏😀

Jeez John where are you

Hi John, ever thought of making a video about how to choose books? There’re too many out there and most of the times I ended up buying classics cuz I was too afraid of making mistakes, but reading only classics surely isn’t enough. I believe many people have the same problem as I do. So pleeeeeease😁

Dame trabajo serás una gran persona

New video please

this is the perfect intersection of art and science
