SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH! AI Is Now Creating ‘Candy Hearts’ But They’re Hilariously Terrible

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!
