Pick-up lines so rarely seem like a good idea, but if you really can't meet new people without sidling up to them at a bar with a pre-packaged line, at least you've got a new excuse if one of them bombs — "a robot wrote it." Research scientist Janelle Shane has trained a neural network framework to generate its own pick-up lines, feeding it a dataset that included existing lines, and training it to look for patterns.
Most actual pick-up lines are obscene or aggressive
