Are any of these Tracking Cookies?
Personally, I find it interesting how many neural network outputs sound like something I’d expect to see in a Harry Potter book. (Hallowy Maples, Grandma’s Spritches)
Pretty damn impressive though. As a non-native English speaker I wouldn’t really take a second glance at any of these.
But how would they taste to an AI?
I’m definitely renaming all my homemade cookies with these names.
Pity they don’t come with recipes. I could go for some of those!
Hallowy Maples is not a bad name for a cookie. Hmmm
“Pork Dillingers” makes me think of heavily armed piglets robbing a bank.
I made Knock You Nakeds once. The recipe I found called specifically for German chocolate cake mix, which was such a struggle to find that I never felt like attempting it again. Perhaps the solution was simply to find a different recipe.
Those paint colors sound like good cookie names too. Maybe naming cookies is the ultimate purpose of all AI. The Singularity will be so advanced it will not only invent cookie names that we haven’t imagined, it will invent cookie names we can’t imagine.
I think I will make some Hersel Pump Spritters tonight.
That’s what I thought when I saw them. Good call
I’d still ask what’s in the bars before eating them.
I made some of these fun cookies! https://twitter.com/ka_amazing/status/1073234604801318912
