Now, she's turned her AI naming capabilities towards beer. While writing about her neural network-generated paint color names, Gizmodo's Ryan Mandelbaum mentioned the issues craft brewers were having coming up with names for their beers -- issues that have at times led to legal action. Not long after that, with the help of a Gizmodo reader who put together a dataset of beer names culled from BeerAdvocate.com, Shane plugged the names into a neural network and out popped a bunch of new names for brewers to use. "For these names I turned the neural network's creativity variable higher and got results that can be described mainly as ... interesting," she said on the blog.
