Google's neural network is binge reading romance novels

The Big G wants its app to be more conversational, so it's feeding a neural network with steamy sex scenes and hot encounters. According to Buzzfeed News, the network has been devouring a collection of 2,865 romance novels over the past few months, with saucy titles like Fatal Desire and Jacked Up. It seems to be working too: it was able to write sentences resembling passages in the books during the researchers' tests. While the AI now has what it takes to become an erotic novelist, the team's real goal is to use its newly acquired conversational tone with the Google app.
