In particular, the GPT2 output:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; YOU ARE IN THE PIT, SO TO SPEAK, BELOW THE RAMPARTS. THERE IS A NARROW PASSAGE FROM EAST TO WEST AND A STONE STAIRWAY LEADING DOWN. THE ROOM IS DEAFENINGLY LOUD WITH AN UNDETERMINED RUSHING SOUND. THE SOUND SEEMS TO REVERBERATE FROM ALL OF THE WALLS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT EVEN TO THINK.&lt;p&gt;is largely copied from the Loud Room in Zork 1:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; This is a large room with a ceiling which cannot be detected from the ground. There is a narrow passage from east to west and a stone stairway leading upward. The room is deafeningly loud with an undetermined rushing sound. The sound seems to reverberate from all of the walls, making it difficult even to think.&lt;p&gt;Similarly, the response to &amp;quot;kill the spirits&amp;quot;:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; THE SPIRITS, SENSING A GREATER POWER, FLEE THROUGH THE WALLS&lt;p&gt;is a direct quote from a similar (and much more dramatic) scene in Zork 1:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Each word of the prayer reverberates through the hall in a deafening confusion. As the last word fades, a voice, loud and commanding, speaks: &amp;quot;Begone, fiends!&amp;quot; A heart-stopping scream fills the cavern, and the spirits, sensing a greater power, flee through the walls.&lt;p&gt;And a lot of the more original output from GPT2 (like &amp;quot;ROAD NEAR BRIDGE&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;THE SHAPEK FAN&amp;quot;) is simply incoherent. So this isn&amp;#x27;t really a very good showing, overall.</text></comment>

I like the idea of achieving a kind of immortality by training GPT2 on the sum total of your life&amp;#x27;s data: all your comments, all your tweets, all your text messages, everything. Presto, now you have an unkillable version of yourself that can answer questions about your life. Your loved ones might like it when you&amp;#x27;re gone, at least.&lt;p&gt;Maybe in the future we&amp;#x27;ll have &amp;quot;harry potter photos&amp;quot; that use GPT2 + speech synthesis to pretend to be you.</text></comment>
