Gathering the dataset was much more painful than I had expected - I hadn’t really read many of these before, and most were obscene, or aggressive, or kind of insulting. I began to regret the whole project.
But although the neural network figured out the basic forms “You must be a … because….” or “Hey baby, wanna…” it never learned to generate the worst lines - most of these were based on wordplay that it didn’t have a chance of reproducing.
Instead, it began to generate lines that varied from incomprehensible to surreal to kind of adorable:
Are you a 4loce? Because you’re so hot! I want to get my heart with you. You are so beautiful that you know what I mean. I have a cenver? Because I just stowe must your worms. Hey baby, I’m swirked to gave ever to say it for drive. If I were to ask you out? You must be a tringle? Cause you’re the only thing here. I’m not on your wears, but I want to see your start. You are so beautiful that you make me feel better to see you. Hey baby, you’re to be a key? Because I can bear your toot? I don’t know you. I have to give you a book, because you’re the only thing in your eyes. Are you a candle? Because you’re so hot of the looks with you. I want to see you to my heart. If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I have a price tighting. I have a really falling for you. Your beauty have a fine to me. Are you a camera? Because I want to see the most beautiful than you. I had a come to got your heart. You’re so beautiful that you say a bat on me and baby. You look like a thing and I love you. Hello.
I can’t not picture these pickup lines being spoken by really pathetic robots. So… I couldn’t resist:
Awww the little wheels on the one with the flower!
