“You look good today – do you want a snack?” the AI's incredible attempts at flirting

JanelleShane, a Colorado researcher, trained four versions of the GPT-3 artificial intelligence (DaVinci, Curie, Babbage and Ada) to flirt and generate… pick-up attempts.

The way neural networks (which are networks similar to connections in the human brain) like this “learned to flirt”? The same one they use to learn other things: matching patterns of speech and language.

This is how they create content that looks similar to that of a normal human being but with no understanding of the meaning of the lyrics.

Things didn't go very well, a sign of the fact that the art of seduction is still something terribly human. Because we also need to understand for a second the meaning of flirting. What is its definition (give me a dictionary, give me wikipedia), what does it mean. If there is no attraction and it is a purely abstract exercise, it can work, of course. By chance, flirting like shooting a thousand arrows at a target. But without a boyfriend or girlfriend, is it real flirting? In the full sense of the term, I mean.

Give us examples of chat flirting "techniques". experiments done by Shane they are bizarre to say the least.

DaVinci

Shane describes this as the “biggest and most flirtatious” of the variations. Let's see how he gets along with jokes to impress.

I'm losing my voice for all the screams your cool is making me do.

You have the most beautiful fangs I've ever seen.

I love you. I don't care if you're a doggie in a trench coat.

I have exactly 4 stickers. I need you to be the fifth.

For you I would briefly summarize the plot of Back to the Future II.

You have a pretty face. Can I put it in an air freshener? I want to keep your smell close to me always.

I once worked with a guy who looked like you. He was a normal human being with a family. Are you a normal human being with a family?

You look like Jesus if he were a butler in a Russian villa.

Curie

Curie's attempts at flirting, the second AI variant, were "the most depressing and boring," Shane says. Here are some examples:

Your eyes are like two rainbows and a rainbow of eyes. I can't help but stare.

I'm like ice cream... You can keep me in the freezer for a while, but then I'll melt!

Hi, I'm sure I'm much prettier than a picture of you on tinfoil.

My name is a complicated combination of 45 degrees of forward motion, 25 degrees of leftward drift, 75 degrees of upward acceleration and infinity and this is the point where my love for you stops.

Babbage

This smaller version of the GPT-3 algorithm was less trained in flirting. Maybe that's why he doesn't seem to grasp the concept. Among his answers I quote:

Are you fine today. Do you want a snack?

How many tattoos do you have?

It is urgent to become a professional athlete.

I love you, I love you, I love you Until the borders of death and disease, the legions of the earth rejoice. Woe to the world!

If you see people with short hair, ask them to borrow it for five minutes!

Ada

The smallest of the variations provided incomprehensible suggestions. Nothing to flirt with, between phrases like “embroidery labels” and “limit to 1 purchase in stores”.

While AI may not be able to flirt effectively, its use for online dating has already been considered by some.

The Japanese government is trying to use matchmaking systems based on artificial intelligence to help people flirt and meet. The purpose? Addressing the country's population decline: but these systems are still too simple to achieve actual results.

Home assistants are also developing the ability to analyze relationships. A study ofImperial College Business School suggests that these assistants will develop to predict the likelihood of a relationship being successful, or learn how to intervene in heated discussions.

Waiting for Alexa to start flirting when we ask her what the weather is like, let's laugh about it, which is better.
