After reading thousands of romance books, Google's AI is writing eerie post-modern poetry

Their AI engine spoke with grammatical precision and factual accuracy, but its diction remained terse and limp. They wanted it to be more conversational, so they made it read 2,865 romance novels. Now Google has a poet. In an unpublished paper entitled "Generating Sentences from a Continuous Space," researchers documented what the Google Brain Team's pet AI had learned from its steamy binge-fest. The experimental parameters are simple and might actually make for a fun group writing game of some sort.
