Machine Learning Generates Clickbait Headlines That Will Shock You! (thestack.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Norwegian developer and blogger Lars Eidnes has designed a clickbait generator using a neural network, which is able to create sensationalist headlines that play on human readers' curiosity. Eidnes trained his neural network by scanning around two million clickbait titles from online media sites such as Buzzfeed, Jezebel and Upworthy. When asked to form a sentence, the system can now output a single word and continues the prediction process to find related words, in a pattern known as Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs).

Come to think of it, I need a browser plugin that randomly cuts off the end of sentences and replaces them with autocompleted words.
Extra credit if the algorithm was trained on religious texts, trashy romance novels and operettas.
