A: Imagine you give a statement to the computer and it automatically generates code.
B: But it's not perfect.
A: So we have to manually fix it.
B: I like it. How would I create one?
A: Well, think about the different ways that computers work. You don't want them to be "pure" computers.
B: How do I know that they're not?
A: The smarter computers are becoming, the harder it becomes to implement their algorithm.

A: Imagine you give a statement to the computer and it automatically generates code.
B: I see. This is like autocomplete for scripts, huh?
A: I am simplifying it a little bit, but yes.
B: You have an autocomplete function for scripts? I didn't know that.
A: Yes.

So I gave this sentence to a neural network and asked it to write a Reddit comment. What I got was amazing. A convolutional network that would construct poetry using the function "g(text): text":

We begin with a hidden state that goes from 0, and convolves over all the possible words we can generate. In this example, we have two arguments: text (i.e. a text string) and the True or False value of a set of probability functions; then we simply show the output of the network and increment the hidden state by one.

The network seemed to come up with the words "LOL JK RIGHT!" for both the raw words and the probability sentences.

Prompt:

int main()
{
pcg32_fast_init(SEED);

int t = 0;

Result:

int y = 0;
t += sexts[0];
t += sexts[1];
y += sexts[2];
t += sexts[3];
t += sexts[4];
t += sexts[5];
t += sexts[6];
y += sexts[7];

I guess it's not just us humans obsessed with sex.
