AI + HALLOWEEN = AI WEIRDNESS
Struggled to come up with a unique Halloween costume idea? Well, you should’ve consulted this weird but wonderful online costume suggestion tool that used machine learning to generate obscure costume ideas.
STAGE 1: Feed: It used a machine learning algo that was fed the list of 7,128 costume suggestions sent in by various people.
STAGE 2: Learn: It learned to spell all these words and phrases on its own accord.
STAGE 3: Predict: Made predictions about which letters should be used in what order to make a Halloween costume.
STAGE 4: Improve: Over time, the predictions improved.
STAGE 5: Create: Added in a ‘creativity’ layer.
END RESULT: Hey Presto! Time to make your Piglet Crayon costume.
Genius.
