Seduce Your Crush With These AI-Generated Candy Hearts
Stank love.
Looking for the perfect gift to seduce your crush this Valentine’s Day? Friend, look no further. An American research scientist has trained a neural network to create the messages on candy hearts, and if these aren’t romantic then I just don’t know romance.
“Around Valentine’s Day in the US and UK, these things called candy hearts appear: small and sugary, bearing a simple, short Valentine’s message,” explains Janelle Shane on her blog AI Weirdness. “I collected all the genuine heart messages I could find, and then gave them to a learning algorithm called a neural network.”
“Given a set of data, a neural network will learn the patterns that let it imitate the original data — although its imitation is sometimes imperfect,” she continues.
Some of her candy hearts are on the right track.
Others… not so much.
Although honestly, if a date told me “love 2000 hogs yea”, I’d definitely be intrigued.
Stank love and a happy sweat poo to us all!
