Google AI engine reads romance novels to improve conversation: Report — Tech2

News has it that Google has been feeding its AI engine over 2500 romance novels over the past couple of months.

According to a report by BuzzFeedNews, Google’s AI has already devoured steamy novels like Unconditional Love, Ignited, Fatal Desire, and Jacked Up. The reason for doing so is to make it more conversational. So, Google wants its AI machine to answer in a natural way rather than stiff, robotic way.

“By reading thousands of such books, the AI can detect which sentences contain similar meanings and gain a more nuanced understanding of language,” the report adds.

A company spokesperson told TheVerge that Google’s AI is intelligent enough to understand the conversation, but the participation isn’t in the most natural way. And, it is believed to have worked as Google got the AI to write some sentences resembling the ones in the novel.

The report also adds how children’s books could have been a good choice, but romance novels offer a wider range of vocabulary. For those not in the know, an artificial engine is a computing system that learns, based on whatever it has been taught. It is used to communicate with humans in a natural way, which is considered to be one of the biggest hurdles by Google.
