So where is the blog post the bot wrote?

I get the feeling that the truth is that the blog just outputted a ton of "deep dream" like text fragments.

While the author makes it sound like the bot created a long and interesting text that could qualify as a blog post.

Here's the total content generated by the model.

As you can see for each run and training step, the model seems to generate more believable content just like blog posts written by actual people.

Well yes, the ML model generated a series of long text fragments and as more training steps were given, it generated text just like an actual blog post with proper start and end, simulating the style of the author.

The author has only posted chosen content from the whole array of text the bot generated, to appeal her specific audience of book bloggers, authors and readers.

I do however, have all the content with me, until 500 training steps, after which I stopped the model from running further. I think I'll share it in this thread in a while.

We did the same thing for generating text for e-commerce items. The output was shallow, devoid of meaning and majority of it is plain nonsense. There are glimpses of sanity that people post to show how good ai is with text but we are far from knowledgeable ai text from what we have experimented.
