The Trump AI Twitterbot is more Donald Trump than Donald Trump

What happens when you use one of the closest things we have to an AI — a Recurrent Neural Network or RNN — and feed it a steady diet of Trump's speeches and debate transcripts? You're about to find out. 

The @DeepDrumpf Twitterbot, a project by Bradley Hayes, a postdoctoral researcher at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL), is based on an artificial intelligence algorithm that uses deep-learning techniques. 

A similar RNN-based project is based on Shakespeare's works. But Trump's language, Hayes says, is "more simplistic."
