G. K. Chesterton

Chestertonbot: a G. K. Chesterton AI

Talk with Chestertonbot, an AI that answers as G. K. Chesterton, in his voice, from his books. It reads the full text of 34 of his books from Project Gutenberg, and Julius West's critical study (1915) and the Chesterton chapter of Edwin Slosson's Six Major Prophets (1917). Words in quotation marks are truly his, with the book and chapter.
