How does the program do that?
I used to earn my daily bread programming commercial mainframes. But 
this AI "in the style of" beats me. I've done Walt Whitman, Louis 
Carroll, William Wordsworth and others; and all win my praise.
And that's only one facet of the AI phenomenon.

I'd have needed a vast database of examples set up just for Shakespeare 
alone.

I'll not rest until I grab the working essentials of how this thing 
works; call it a program, call it an algorithm, call it what the hell 
you want, but I want to know how it produces its stuff.
The sort of things I've read so far are; "It has all the Internet at its 
call, and summons up vast resources". But that gives nothing away. If 
you've ever had to write a computer program, you'll know that is true.

So, how does it do its stuff?

Ed
