This is what happens when you use neural networks to generate pickup lines

When trained with enough raw data, neural networks can ‘learn’ the subject matter they’re fed and come up with unique material of their own, whether that means creating original art, writing novels or accompanying you on the piano. Now, researcher Janelle C Shane is putting her neural network framework to work on a project we can all benefit from: generating pickup lines. After going through the painful process of collecting a dataset of lines from around the web, she fed them to her network. Eventually, it understood what the building blocks of a pickup line were like, and thankfully, as…
