After craft beer, Halloween costumes, and Christmas carols, research scientist Janelle Shane is back with. Keep in mind that GPT-2 was not a neural net specially trained on candy hearts, Shane says in her post, adding that What I was doing was kind of like walking up to someone and shouting. Weirdness of AI Neural network creates hilarious candy heart messages image. It doesn’t seem to necessarily do better if the text I ask for is more likely on a candy heart. AI generates weird candy heart messages - Representational image Jim Bourg/Reuters. The ny times crossword puzzle is a classic us puzzle game. Here’s its attempt at a candy heart that says Kiss Me. Let’s just say that the overall effect was surprisingly suggestive. This candy heart, only roughly heart-shaped and weirdly fleshy, is the best match it found. Unfortunately, some of those words already had other meanings. The neural network thought of some nice new four-letter words to use.

There was yet another category of message, a category you might be able to predict given the prevalence of four-letter words in the original dataset. These will probably not be one of the standard messages anytime soon. I don’t know what they mean, but some of them might work on me. Others were in the same spirit, but perhaps not quite as effective. The neural net did produce some that would pass for - and arguably improve upon - the standard messages.

The candy heart messages it produced… well, you be the judge. 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. I collected all the genuine heart messages I could find, and then gave them to a learning algorithm called a neural network. There are only room for a few characters, so they read something like “LOVE YOU” or “CALL ME” or “BE MINE”. Candy Heart messages written by a neural networkĪround Valentine’s Day in the US and UK, these things called candy hearts (or conversation hearts or sweethearts) appear: small and sugary, bearing a simple, short Valentine’s message. Across two posts on her blog, AI Weirdness, Shane shared a list of new candy heart message options.
