April Fool’s pranks written by neural network

Janelle Shane wanted to find out if she could get a neural network to invent new April Fool’s pranks. The neural net learned individual words and phrasing from the dataset and rearranged them into weird and humorous new combinations:

• Place a pair of pants and shoes in your ice dispenser.
• A meat and mashed potato sundae makes for quite the hand soap dispenser.
• Conference call two people then, when, when your kid asks what it is, say “Dinner.”
• Glue all the eggs in the hubcaps of someone’s computer.
• Put food coloring in the mailbox.
• Take the door knob off your kid’s shoes.
