The neural network invents fruit names that may not catch on.

I’ve been training a neural network (based on this open-source neural network framework from Andrej Karpathy) on datasets from recipes, to lists of Pokemon, to superhero names. I decided to see if it could invent names for new fruit varieties - I fed it a list of apple, peach, pear, plum, and cherry varieties, and asked it to generate more.

It obliged. But I’m not sure any of these are going to catch on:

Sunbrown
Stanker
Pork Gala
Horspest
Shivercell
Hencough
Moregall
Brown Soften
Ruby Wally
Ruck
Nagtort
Blee Red
Redcells
Zuby Glong
Zeelcher
Hacker Gala
Soften Fuji
Klunk 134
Horking
