Another clue was that its candy heart messages were often super long - it had no concept of a length limit and seemed to be taking its cue from human all-caps shouting. Research scientist Janelle Shane trained a neural network to create candy heart messages and the results. Candy hearts were probably rare in its training data ( unlike harry potter fanfiction ). AI generates hilariously weird candy heart messages. After it had listed a few messages in all-caps, it would sometimes continue with other kind of text, and from there I could tell that it thought it was generating:Įven when I gave it a clue and prefaced its prompt with “These are some candy heart messages:” it still didn’t seem to know what it was doing. What I was doing was kind of like walking up to someone and shouting “HOT STUFF! COOL DUDE! LOVE BIRD! CALL ME! WHIZ KID! AS IF!” That would be confusing to anyone, but really, it was still a bit strange of the neural net to respond by shouting “LUBRICANT!”.ĭid it have any idea what was going on? Probably not. Keep in mind that this was not a neural net specially trained on candy hearts. It had no special training on candy hearts (although possibly it had seen lists of them online), but I used to give it lists of existing candy hearts to add to, to see what it would come up with. It had learned to predict what comes next in whatever text you give it - give it the ingredients of a recipe and it’ll try to do the directions, or start listing your favorite animals and it’ll try to think of more. This time I tried using GPT-2, a neural network that had already learned a lot about to write English from scanning millions of web pages. Weirdness of AI Neural network creates hilarious candy heart messages ahead of Valentines Day The algorithm came up with some bizarre results after learning from genuine candy heart. That neural net started with zero knowledge of English and could only learn what was in those original 366 heart messages - and it didn’t know to avoid certain letters in certain combinations.
