Un «bot» Twitter imite Donald Trump pour mieux le dénoncer
(A Twitter "bot" imitates Donald Trump in order to better condemn him)

Summary | DeepDrumpf, a "bot" that was created at MIT, imitates Trump's tweets and speeches thanks to deep learning. The program is not perfect: a lot of tweets are incoherent. Nevertheless, they make a good parody. In sum, DeepDrumpf illustrates a language that seems unnatural, unpredictable, and incomprehensible -a good imitation of Trump, then. Hillary Clinton also created a bot called Text Trump.
