CNN headlines written by a neural net


Can "artificial intelligences" digest a list of CNN headlines and predict plausible new headlines based on what they’ve seen? Colorado research scientist Janelle Shane (previously) decided to find out. She took 8,438 headlines that have appeared on CNN Business over the past year and used an algorithm that could learn to imitate them.

Apparently AI still has a lot to learn about writing news headlines and came up with some unintentional humour. Here are some of Shane's favourites:
Star Wars Episode IX Has New Lime Blazer
Mister Rogers in Washington
Black Panther Crushes the iPhone XS and XS Max Max
How to Build a Flying Car Car
You Make Doom Stocks
The Fly Species Came Back to Life
India Gets a Bad Mocktail Non Alcoholic Spirit
How to Buy a Nightmare
