Lincoln's Gettysburg Address run through AI.

 Here is Lincoln's original speech:

 

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

 

Now we run it through Quillbot.com, and this is what we get:

 

Our forefathers founded a new country on this continent four hundred and seven years ago, conceived in Liberty and devoted to the belief that all men are created equal.


Now we are in the midst of a major civil war, which will determine whether that country, or any other nation thus conceived and devoted, can survive for a long time.
We've met on a major battleground from that conflict.
We've decided to devote a section of the field as a last resting place for those who lost their life here so that this country may survive.
It is quite appropriate and right that we do so.


But, in a broader sense, we are unable to dedicate, consecrate, or hallow this place.
The valiant soldiers who fought here, both alive and dead, have sanctified it far beyond our meager ability to add or subtract.
What we say here will be forgotten quickly, but what they accomplished here will be remembered forever.
It is for us, the living, to commit ourselves here to the unfinished job that those who fought here have so valiantly progressed so far.
It is more important for us to be here dedicated to the great task ahead of us—that we take increased devotion to the cause for which these honored dead gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead will not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, will have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, will not perish from the earth.
