This was such a fun idea! And, while it's doubtless true that Tolkien would have been repulsed by such an idea-- as many commenters are too keen to point out-- I'm pretty sure the entire concept of the internet, social media, and post-modernity itself, would have been terrifying and repulsive to the Professor (a sentiment which I increasingly share, lol). Regardless, this was a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing the results of this little experiment.
Indeed that would be interesting 🙂 As I said though, such AI systems cannot replicate engaging writing the way humans do -and especially the way Tolkien did 😄
Absolutely not. I don't believe that AI will ever be able to truly replicate human emotion we, and certainly Tolkien put into his writing. However, it is a fun idea to play around with. It would be interesting to see how AI would continue the work of Tolkien's abandoned sequel, The New Shadow. Of course, this is no replacement. I'd think of it as a "fan theory" of sorts.
A fascinating exercise, but even once it "clicked", it really doesn't know how to do the correct alliterative metre at all. It's lost the rhyming, but still doesn't know the correct alliteration pattern, nor the stress pattern. (aha, watching on, you note this) I guess it comes down to the software not having seen much poetry in this form to build on. It would be cool to see an expert in poetry, and better, in OE poetry, shred this (Mike Drout, are you there?)
Hi, great video! I have a question about the book: is your paperback edition of the Fall of Arthur published by HarperCollins? and if so, what is its impression number (number of printing)?
There is much at stake, instead of perfecting the human mind, we are letting machines do much of the thinking for us. One must wonder what our grandchildren and great grandchildren will go through on the modern digital world. @@brewingbooks
I can't begin to describe how much Tolkien would have hated the idea of a mindless automaton sticking its fingers into his creative works.
Haha absolutely!
Now, I am offended that this channel doesn't have more followers. Thank you for keeping the channel alive and treating us with new videos! 😇📖
Oh wow cheers! 😁

Thanks! Glad someone can see the intriguing side of this experiment, without exploding into a Tolkien-wouldn't-approve-shame-on-you rant 😅
Really cool video idea! It would be cool to apply this idea to other places throughout Tolkien's work. You should do something like this again!

I feel like Tolkien being so against mechanization that this is probably his worst nightmare.
He would indeed me thinks 😅
Thank you!
Welcome 🙂
Could you make videos on your thoughts on the stories that tolkien has written? Like symbols and patterns
Absolutely! :)

If Michael Drout is somehow perusing this channel, that would be superb!
@@brewingbooks not that I know of, I just don't know anyone else who's an expert on these matters! 😀
I wonder how it would works with GPT 4
Hmmm 🤔
Hi, great video! I have a question about the book: is your paperback edition of the Fall of Arthur published by HarperCollins? and if so, what is its impression number (number of printing)?
Hi there! Thanks for your kind words. So basically the copy I use is a 1st edition/1st impression by HarperCollins.
Bad idea my friend :(
As Bilbo would say: “It was just a bit of fun!“😄
Or you can just read the Alliterative Morte Arthure.
Good suggestion 🙂
ah yes chatGPT as a high school student i can say its my best friend
Haha! 😂
Dangerous grounds 😂 you will have the Tolkien Literary Purists lighting their torches and raising their pitchforks baying for blood 😂
Hehe! Some people take these things too seriously 😄
@@brewingbooks oh boy your so right. 😂
