You can ‘train’ an AI to do pretty much whatever you want depending on the source material you feed it. The technology to do this is available to the public and it is called GPT-2. It can be used by anyone who would want to generate prose. The special power of the technology is the amount of text that can be generated, but not necessarily the quality. Not all of the generated text is going to make sense, but so much unique text can be generated in such a short period of time that it makes up for it. Trolls are an obvious example of how it can be used for bad, but a way it can be used for good is by writers who want to generate short stories or mimic a certain writing style.
