Artificial intelligence and a Cadillac have become buzzworthy book authors penning a Kerouacian novel about a road trip from New York to New Orleans. The artificial intelligence project was the brainchild of former Obama administration ghostwriter and creative technologist, hacker, Gonzo data scientist and artificial intelligence expert, Ross Goodwin. Goodwin told The Atlantic that the four sensors located on the car provided data for a system of neural networks that had been'trained' with Foursquare location data and hundreds of books, notably poetry, science fiction and'bleak' literature. The literary genres'represented the voice I wanted the book to be written in,' Goodwin said, noting that he wanted the voice to'match the terrain of our journey, its historical and literary significance.' The first thing the car AI wrote, upon being started up in Brooklyn, New York, was the moody line, 'It was nine seventeen in the morning, and the house was heavy.'
