As a hobby I trained several networks on portuguese poetry for a while. Stopped after realizing that eventually they all signed poems with "satan" and "devil".
Has anyone tried to make a poetry generator that has some semblance of thematic unity ?<p>Otherwise you just get a word salad generator that produces good poems by accident. Maybe we need to try word2vec based approaches.
