What happens if I make a chatbot on tensorflow and use the entire cannon of western philosophical works and theological works to train it?

Will It be able to answer most of philosophy major questions?

It's already been done. What do you think this place is.

Depends on the model you're using, but given the current state of the art, you can expect, at best, that your bot will make sentences that start with a capitalized letter, end with a point, and doesn't have any unreadable or made-up word in between. Most sentences still won't really make sense though.

So pretty par for the course continental philosphy I guess.

To see more precisely what I mean, here is what you get when you train a RNN (probably the best method to generate texts currently) on most of Shakespeare's works:

Every sentence reads like someone started to write a Elisabethan monologue and forgot halfway what they were trying to say and just made up something unrelated and went along with it. It's only fools you if you don't understand Shakespeare at all.

I admit that was pretty gratuitous, couldn't help it.

this phrasing
>but I was thinking
that he contends, he hath respected thee
is almost good
maybe fixed w an emdash or semicolon
