Have regular Valentine’s gifts got you down? Have candy slogans become too expected? Luckily, research scientist Janelle Shane has our back. Shane fed a whole bunch of candy heart slogans through a neural network learning algorithm, and then was generous enough to share the results with the public. They. Are. Spectacular.

But wait, there are more!
Neural net-generated candy hearts range from sweet to questionable.

Eventually, the neural network got a little carried away with the *ahem* romance.
so, um. neural net generated these Highly Questionable candy hearts
some of these words were NOT in its training data, but it was technically allowed to use any letters in any order. pic.twitter.com/9dTfDalyJG

Let us know which possibly nonsensical/potentially inappropriate candy heart you’d send to your bae/self (i.e. the ultimate bae). (via AIWeirdness)
- This is a really great conversation between two paranormal romance writers about what makes that genre so very cool. (via A Love So True)
- This MSNBC graphic was already garbage before I noticed that they accidentally used Sherrod Brown’s picture twice! Not even major media outlets can tell these many white men apart.
