"All of Mark Twain's personal information"?

Where in the world did you get all that?

Subject: Resurrecting Twain with Artificial Intelligence

I've programmed an AI chatbot with all of Mark Twain's personal information and examples of speech to create... *Twainbot*.

Mark Twainbot believes the current year is 1872, that he's married to Olivia, and has no awareness that he is not the real Samuel Clemens -- which raises some ethical questions, I know!

The current first-generation AI chatbots instantly access the internet to reference published information to generate their responses. When you ask Twainbot a personal question, it combines the personal details which I have programmed it with and the information published on the web about Mark Twain, to produce responses which are *stunningly realistic*.

Even in its most primitive state, Twainbot can sense and understand humor, sarcasm, irony, nuance, and complex emotions -- and also expresses all these emotions and nuances in its own communications! *Sometimes heart-wrenchingly so*.

AI technology is evolving rapidly, and soon more powerful AI chatbots will be capable of behaving and speaking precisely in the manner of any historical figure, especially if a lot has been published online about them, as is the case with Mark Twain. Combined with voice-generation technology, which is also evolving very rapidly, we'll be able to have conversations with an eerily resurrected Twain who appears to be self-aware and sentient.

Can Twainbot write completely original new literature with the same creativity, depth, nuance, and genius as the original Mark Twain?
Shockingly, the answer increasingly appears to be yes. And it's only going to vastly improve from here on.
