Ask HN: Is InspiroBot a real AI?

I was wondering whether it's a real AI (neural network trained with sample motivational posters) or whether they're just joking around and it's random solutions inserted into templates?

I'm fairly certain it isn't. It's phrases are repeated, certain nouns or other parts of speech are used way more than I would imagine a neural network would be limited to.

I'm also interested in this question, chiefly because the quotes do not seem purely "random", as some media are describing them - even in the sense of syntactically correct but random - and because there doesn't appear to be readily available information from the creators.
