News-Based Dystopia Generator #52

Open belgoran opened 7 years ago

belgoran commented 7 years ago

Without it being too topical, I'd like to be able to ask the AI to generate a dystopia based on the outcome of certain events: Hillary Wins, Donald Wins, etc.

The idea is to populate a database of 'actors' from some curated news streams. Combine sentiment analysis and predictive models (based on Twitter data and major news 'nodes') to generate event trees.

I'll tackle the prose itself in the latter half.

Sounds interesting. How are you going to format the output? It might be easier to output fake 'news articles' about what's happening, because that's the format your input is in.

That's a great question that I haven't given enough thought to yet.

Given the time, I'd like this to be an exercise in both content creation and prose generation.

Inasmuch as my mandate on the input end is to study my own approach to writing and create a node based system to try to automate this approach.

I think I'd like to try to tackle the more difficult mandate of studying my approach to prose and teaching the bot to translate its 'ideas' into novel-length narrative.

I'm aiming pretty high at this level, but I'll take a heuristic approach in order to suit the timeline of the commitment.
