An example of this was recently reported by technology website stuff, detailing an example published last Thursday. The system was given sample text of: "A train carriage containing controlled nuclear materials was stolen in Cincinnati today. Its whereabouts are unknown."

From there, software was able to write a seven paragraph news story, including quotes from government officials – with the only catch being that the story was 100% made up.

We've trained an unsupervised language model that can generate coherent paragraphs and perform rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization — all without task-specific training: https://t.co/sY30aQM7hU pic.twitter.com/360bGgoea3

New York University computer scientist Sam Bowman said: "The texts that they are able to generate from prompts are fairly stunning. It's able to do things that are qualitatively much more sophisticated than anything we've seen before."

just an advanced form of the "trick photography" that has been around for over a century.


I remember when commercials first started using special effects, only they didn't call it special effects. Until that movie FX came out.
My father used to marvel at the Gleem commercial where the White, Green and Red tooth paste on three separate toothbrushes would merge into one. He said "that's one hell of a trick photography!"

He must have really liked the giant in the washer and the tidy bowl man. How about that camera movement where they made Reagan and Dukakis look the same height during the debate?
