AI tweets about AI

Original tweets on the topic of artificial intelligence generated by an algorithm

I set myself the challenge of generating creating computer-generated tweets. And because I appreciated irony, I decided to make the topic artificial intelligence. Step 1 was to gather a whole lot of tweets to serve as a dataset of examples. I used the twitter API to gather around 60,000 from the previous week.

Having aqcuired my dataset I then set about feeding them into an algorithm. I set out to use an LSTM Neural Network using Keras, and after hours of training, I used it to generate this monstrosity:

#Meceti #Reartocy #AI #IaThih #Recrtico #DataScience #DI #IaThioe #Aetie #heteet #AI #AataScience #AI #IaThih #Rebrticy #DataScience #AI #IaThih #Rebrtica #DataScience #AI

Well, its learnt hashtags and that was a start. You can even see some of them are more intelligible than others. I tried again, this time training for much, much longer:

@samat_scciealy @sauaa_ricma @mikequindazzi @antgrasso @firher85m
#ai #ai #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #deeplearning #nlp #robots #iot

Well, its learnt to tweet people, but it's not exactly going to pass the turing test. I considered getting more data and training it for longer, but in the end came to the conclusion that I needed a different algorithm. An LSTM is good at getting contexts and tweets don't really have this. I realised I had overcomplicated this project, and instead used a markov chain. This was much faster, and the results? Much better:

Well. Its getting creepy, I pulled the throttle and added some extra data, it improved a little further still. I tweeted the highlights, which you can find below.
