AI is trained to create incredibly British place names

From Pratt's Bottom to Giggleswick, Britain is well-known for its unusual place names. But there is now an artificial intelligence programme that can generate its own. Oregon-based programmer Dan Hon, who created the programme for fun, posted a new list of British place names created by the AI on Twitter. The programme analysed thousands of British names of towns and villages and was then trained to make new ones at random. It created almost 4,500 'incredibly British' place names in total, and from'Filton-on's Forton' to'Grinachard St Ringley', many sound just like real places.
