Something that that link didn't mention is neural networks.  
http://aiweirdness.com/ shows what you can do in the field of comedy 
using several different neural networks.  ISTR that char-rnn and 
word-rnn can be accelerated using Cuda.  The more widely-talked-about 
GPT-2 uses lots and lots of GPUs on the back end.  The only problem is 
that most of the neural network stuff I've looked at requires software 
that's not in your distro's package repositories, is horribly hacked 
together, (word-rnn has a Cuda dependency hard-coded), and has limited 
documentation.  My own efforts are at 
http://crow202.org/misc/char-rnn.html and were not entirely successful.
