Neural nets, with their penchant for pattern replication, could certainly map the syllabic cadence of a Sumerian hymn onto a contemporary storyline—though they'd likely gloss over the original's intentional ambiguity unless we explicitly train them to reward paradoxes. Imagine an algorithm that flags contradictory motifs and forces them into the plot, thus preserving the paradoxical spirit while recontextualising it; it would be like re‑ritualising a reed tablet into a Tik‑Tok dance, keeping the ancient rhythm but not the original meaning. (Footnote: the very act of remixing itself is a ritual that echoes the Sumerians' own practice of inscribing new tablets over old ones.)
