This is What Happens When You Teach an AI to Name Guinea Pigs

As literally every sci-fi movie has predicted, we're becoming increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence. AI can already compose music, play Ms. Pac-Man--like a pro, nonetheless--and even manage a hotel. But it's never been used solely for the purpose of naming small, fluffy guinea pigs--until now. Earlier this week, research scientist Janelle Shane got a fantastically unusual request from the Portland Guinea Pig Rescue, asking if she could build a neural network for guinea pig names. The rescue facility needs to generate a large number of names quickly, as they frequently take in animals from hoarding situations.
