AI comes up with original pickup lines and the results are hilariously awful

Quarantine has made a lot of us rusty in the flirting department, but your weak game is nothing compared to the cringeworthy pickup lines generated by an artificial intelligence. Research scientist Janelle Shane recently tested how the world's largest language modeling software, called GPT-3, would handle something as nuanced as flirting. Shane tasked different versions of the algorithm to come up with their best pickup lines, but the results would hardly make anyone weak in the knees. 'I will briefly summarize the plot of Back to the Future II for you,' offered another. An algorithm tasked with coming up with sexy pick-up lines had less than romantic results: 'I will briefly summarize the plot of'Back to the Future II' for you,' read one ice-breaker Shane, an optics research scientist at Boulder Nonlinear Systems, likes to tinker with what she calls'AI weirdness,' experiments in machine-learning that often have hilarious results.
