人工智能除了可以用来识别图像、可以用来和围棋手对战、可以用来操控机器人、可以用来作画，现在，它又能写诗了。先来欣赏一首：
No.
He said.
“No,” he said.
“No,” i said.
“I know,” she said.
“Thank you,” she said.
“Come with me,” she said.
“Talk to me,” she said.
“Don’t worry about it,” she said.
乍一看，上面这些句子像是些不成规则的日常用语，但实际上却是 Google 人工智能机器写的一首诗。用的单词都很简单，有一点英语基础的人都能读懂，但意境的话，就要靠你的想象力了。
Google让人工智能学习了 2865 篇爱情小说，并为其设定了一定的格式，然后它的诗词水平就描绘出了上面这些句子。
如果你觉得第一首诗太简单的话，这个能写作的机器人也能摆弄出一些复杂的句子，比如下面这首：
It made me want to cry.
No> It made me feel uneasy.
No> The thought made me smile.
The pain was unbearable.
The crowd was silent.
The man called out.
The old man said.
The man asked.
看上去，这个人工智能机器学习完言情小说之后好像也变得多愁善感起来。但实际上，它却只是一堆接通了电流的机器零件。电影《Her》中的场景离我们还远着呢。
按照 Google 工程师的说法，目前这个项目还处在比较初级的阶段，想让人机器自如的交流还有很长的路要走。
He was silent for a long moment.
He was silent for a moment.
It was quiet for a moment.
It was dark and cold.
There was a pause.
It was my turn.
他沉默了许久。他沉默了片刻。言情小说中大多都是类似的情节，人工智能自然也就只能一遍又一遍的写这些相似的句子。Google 的工程师们给机器设计了每首诗的开头和结尾，然后让它们往里面填充适当的句子进而把这些内容串起来。
There is no> There is no> They were the> They were the> He had to be with me.
She had to be with him.
I had to do this.
I wanted to kill him.
I started to cry.
I turned to him.
不难看出，这些人工智能机器书写的诗句虽然能保证语法的准确，但都是一些简单的句子。
当然，鉴于人工智能会不断地学习，没准有一天它真的能成为一个后现代言情诗人，那个时候，不晓得它学习科幻小说的同伴会造出什么？
下一场星球大战的剧情或许已经在酝酿了。
