AI may soon steal your job, but it’s not going to steal your boo anytime soon.
Research scientist Janelle Shane programmed courtship robots using the most sophisticated text-writing algorithms in the world and the results ranged from hilarious to vaguely threatening. The machines were fed an article titled “These are the top pickup lines of 2021! Amaze your crush and get results!” and told to write their own. Here are some of the gems they came up with:
● I love you. I don't care if you're a doggo in a trenchcoat.
● You have a lovely face. Can I put it on an air freshener? I want to keep your smell close to me always.
● Wait, this beanie hat, is it fashionable?
● You look like Jesus if he were a butler in a Russian mansion.
Those pickup lines were written by Shane’s “largest and most competent” AI named DaVinci. And if you thought those were bizarre, wait until you hear the lines written by the less powerful bots.
● Your eyes are like two rainbows and a rainbow of eyes. I can't help but stare.
● Hey, my name is John Smith. Will you sit on my breadbox while I cook or is there some kind of speed limit on that thing?
● You're looking good today. Want snacks?
● It is urgent that you become a professional athlete.
