The neural network has weird ideas about what humans like to eat

So I’ve been training this neural network to generate cookbook recipes by letting it look at tens of thousands of existing recipes.

The generated titles can get a bit odd.

There’s a creativity variable I can set when the network is generating new recipes, and when I set it low, it comes up with its best guess at the most quintessential recipe titles:



Cream Cheese Soup

Cream Of Sour Cream Cheese Soup

Chocolate Cake (Chocolate Cake)

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake

Chocolate Chicken Chicken Cake

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake

Chocolate Chips

Chocolate Chips With Chocolate Chips



When I tell it to get creative, things get even weirder.
