A MIT computer scientist created a Donald Trump Twitter bot -- and it's oddly realistic

Donald Trump has mastered the art of the one-liner. The US presidential candidate now has a Twitter bot twin that tries to mimic his signature soundbites. The bot tweets Trump-like statements using an artificial intelligence algorithm based on hours of the candidate's debate speech transcripts. "Trump's language tends to be more simplistic, so I figured that, as a modeling problem, he would be the most manageable candidate to study," says Bradley Hayes, the bot's creator and a researcher at MIT's Computer Science and and Artificial Intelligence Lab, in a statement. Hayes calls the bot DeepDrumpf, which refers to John Oliver's recent segment about Trump's ancestral name. Take a look at a few of DeepTrumpf's hilarious, bizarre, and oddly poetic tweets.
