An Elon Musk-backed AI firm is keeping a text generating tool under wraps amid fears it's too dangerous
AI research nonprofit OpenAI has created a system that can generate fake text from a single line -- and it's not open-sourcing the code for fear of misuse. OpenAI was cofounded by tech mogul Elon Musk, and its sponsors include Silicon Valley heavy-hitters such as Peter Thiel and Amazon Web Services. Last year it gained the praise of Bill Gates after it built a team of five neural networks capable of beating human players in the computer game "Dota 2."

The Guardian's Alex Hern got to play with the system, and tried typing in a single Guardian headline about Brexit. From that headline alone, GPT2 was able to generate quotes from UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as well as a fictional spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May.
