This is garbage in, garbage out a bit. Tuned through my gpt3 account on shortlyread.com I got the following: 1. If You Were a Fruit, You'd Be a Fineapple. 2. If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put 'U' and 'I' together. 3. Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, So are you. 4. What do you say after three hours? 5. Am I attractive? 6. What's your favorite webcast application? 7. Hi; my name is Al and I like to fish. 8. I'm a night person and I like to sit alone in the dark. 9. Hi, do you like space? 10. My lover says that I'm not man enough. 11. Do you believe in love? 12. I think you should read my palm.

A quick search turns up numerous results of the first two. I know I've heard the fineapple joke before. Those are also the only two I would consider a pickup line. Is there a reason you consider these results better?

  Great question, I feel like GPT3 does a great job with predictable generation, like Family Feud answers. The first two are very predictable and the remaining 10 fall closer to a line that most folks would try out at least as an icebreaker, which is the expected result of a successful pickup line. Some of the article's examples were too off the mark for folks to attempt.

    > the remaining 10 fall closer to a line that most folks would try out at least as an icebreaker Listen, I know there are stereotypes about the social skills of the average HN poster, and I've got to tell you you're not helping here.

  > Those are also the only two I would consider a pickup line. #5 is pretty aggressive, but definitely a pickup line.

> I'm a night person and I like to sit alone in the dark. That pretty much sums up my life, but I'd be very surprised if that worked as a pickup line.

  It would work on you, wouldn't it?

    Let's not beat around the bush; it'd work on 90% of HN. (Myself included.)
