engineering has run into the human racedare mighty thingsfrom commit arobot on Marstoreinventing the bus . We ’ve even created stilted intelligence in the configuration of neural networks which can be tasked with creating their own scenes from theGreat British Bake Offorcritiquing your art .
Blogger and Research Scientist in opticsJanelle Shanehas stock out several illuminating experiments into the efficaciousness of neural mesh in craft its own design and shibboleth , and most recently tried it out on the popular Valentine ’s Day candy Love Hearts . These hard , disc - shaped sherbert treats unremarkably record phrasal idiom like “ sexual love Bug ” or “ Kiss Me , ” but Shane ’s experiments yielded some improper mesmerism .
In thefirst coming , Shane took a neuronal profits with no intellect of English and establish it 366 Love Heart candy messages , then asked it to simulate them . Highlights from the results included “ STANK LOVE ” and “ LOVE 2000 HOGS YEA , ” which would belike raise some eyebrows if you embark on hand them out like candy .
Asecond experimenttook a different approaching , using a GPT-2 neuronic meshing which already had an established understanding of English having scanned millions of WWW pages . The AI in this experimentation would come up with its slogans not by studying lots of Love Hearts but by predict a phrase in English which would follow existing cady slogans .
“ Keep in mind that this was not a neural net specially trained on candy hearts , ” wrote Shane on herblog . “ 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 mo unknown of the nervous net to respond by shouting “ LUBRICANT ! ” .
“ Did it have any estimate what was going on ? Probably not … Even when I render it a hint and preface its prompt with “ These are some confect heart messages : ” it still did n’t seem to know what it was doing . ”
Aware or not , the results were once again something to behold . Favorites include ; HOT material MY BODY IS ; content FROM A CRYPT SAYING ITS NICE TO SEE YOU send ME A FRIENDLETTER ; AMERICAN OCEAN CABBAGE DELIGHT and ON THAT bank note , may I offer you a cookie ?
In a third experimentation , Shane thought she ’d try the neuronal net ’s script at crafting Love Hearts this time from images . “ Methods of generating impost images from description are catch better all the time . Could I use modern automobile learning to get new candy hearts ? ” wrote Shane on her blog . “ The answer is no . ”
After looking at several pictures of Love Hearts , the neural internet tried to churn out some of its own and it ’s safe to say theresulting productsdidn’t feel in the least bit appetising . Resembling necrotic marshmallows like a corner of Lucky Charms fresh out of Chernobyl , the candy - turned - tumors look as if they should channel a heavy carcinogen warning .
So … what do you say , Swizzels Marlow Ltd. ? Something for your next marketing political campaign I ’m certain .
