This sounds like a nitpick but I feel very strongly about this: this is not "written by a bot", it is written by a human (actually, several humans) <i>assisted by</i> a bot. In particular, it was written by human beings using constrained predictive text keyboards that were trained on a Harry Potter corpus. As a general rule of thumb, even in 2017, if you're reading "bot-created" text that feels nonsensical but grammatical, it's either highly-constrained in its generation process (e.g. using templates), human-curated, or human-directed.<p>Here's the actual announcement from Botnik, which clearly uses the phrase "predictive keyboards": <a href="https://twitter.com/botnikstudios/status/940627812259696643" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/botnikstudios/status/940627812259696643</a> You can actually experiment with the exact process used! The predictive text keyboards they created are available online: one for narration and one for dialogue.<p>narration: <a href="http://botnik.org/apps/writer/?source=d08198a9a936f791b7ffe144a2e9b1e3,0e155979285771266d520c44607722a1" rel="nofollow">http://botnik.org/apps/writer/?source=d08198a9a936f791b7ffe1...</a><p>dialogue: <a href="http://botnik.org/apps/writer/?source=4210c86ded39e6380ad0e17cecd767f6" rel="nofollow">http://botnik.org/apps/writer/?source=4210c86ded39e6380ad0e1...</a>
