On many occasions, quotes from Donald Trump’s speeches and debate transcripts have sounded like a comedy script; but a new Twitterbot has taken things to the next level.

The Twitter account, dubbed @DeepDrumpf, uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) trained on Trump’s speech and debate transcripts.

According to Mashable, the project was started by Bradley Hayes, a post-doctoral researcher at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL). The account uses an algorithm to create sentences based on Trump’s speech structure during events.
