So a while ago I made my first Twitter [https://twitter.com/BotSingalong]/ Mastodon [https://botsin.space/@singalongbot] bot, a very simple little bot called TheSingalongBot [https://twitter.com/BotSingalong]. It came out of a chance conversation at the XOXO conference with Kate Compton and Gretchen McCulloch, and all it

How to make high-tech pies sound really old

A while ago I made a bunch of new pies [http://aiweirdness.com/post/167736100922/a-neural-network-invents-some-pies]. Well, I didn’t *make* them because they were neural network invented titles and although it tried to imitate the list of pies I gave it, the neural net’s imitations are imperfect. The

Thanks to the wonderful readers of this blog, I’ve been able to apply machine learning to Dungeons and Dragons data of all sorts. I trained a neural network to generate new D&D spells, first on a small dataset [http://aiweirdness.com/post/159363915392/new-dd-magic-spells-designed-by-neural-network] , then on a

The world is a chaotic and confusing place. Could advanced artificial intelligence help us make sense of it? Well, possibly, except that today’s “artificial intelligences” are not exactly what you’d call sophisticated. With a couple of hundred virtual neurons (as opposed to 16 billion neurons in the human

People use neural networks for translating languages, recommending movies, delivering ads, and more, but this here is one of my favorite applications: utter surrealism. Last year [http://aiweirdness.com/post/166814009412/a-neural-network-designs-halloween-costumes] I trained a neural network on 4,500 Halloween costumes that you readers helped me collect. This year,

(Images generated by BigGAN [http://aiweirdness.com/post/178619746932/imaginary-worlds-dreamed-by-biggan]) Neural networks are a kind of machine learning algorithm that learn to imitate the examples I give them. They’re pretty good at picking up on the feel of craft [http://aiweirdness.com/post/163753995072/craft-beer-names-invented-by-neural-network] beer [http://aiweirdness.com/

There’s a kind of neural network that learns to imitate whatever text you give it, whether that’s recipes [http://aiweirdness.com/tagged/recipes], song lyrics [http://aiweirdness.com/post/167596678562/disney-songs-sung-by-a-neural-network-with-a-very] , or even the names of guinea pigs [http://aiweirdness.com/post/162263942282/more-neural-network-guinea-pig-names]. Their imitations are often
