Am I the only one impressed by the text generated? Sure, it doesn't have any understanding but are you factoring that 1. most people on the world do not know that Rust is a programming language and 2. a single person can not have that much general knowledge. Sure they can know about Rust borrow checker but will not be able to expand that much on another subject.

This looks like it can copy large chunks of text. That's it.

It is hard task in itself ("copy" is a standard test for memory-enhanced neural systems like RNN and such) but here it needs to "understand" things. For example, what makes borrow checker in Rust unique which would be valid continuation.

Have you tried googling sentences generated?
