“OK, it’s amazing right now with Isis, I tell you what? I don’t want them to vote, the worst very social people. I love me.”

Donald Trump may be a “really smart person” by his own estimation, but his speeches are now fuelling a really smart Twitter bot, which uses artificial-intelligence technology to copy the Republican frontrunner.

The quote above comes from “Deep Drumpf” rather than the real Trump, with the account running on algorithms created at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab.
