"A project in the US recently turned to climbing route names as learning material for training an artificial neural network. ....
'A neural network is a type of computer program that learns by example, rather than being told exactly how to solve a problem. Based on thousands of examples of route names, it had to figure out the rules that let it generate more like them. At a low temperature setting, it will generate names that it thinks are very quintessential - they'll end up a bit repetitive, but it will mostly be correct. At a higher temperature setting, it will be more daring when it generates names, going with less common sounds and phrases.'
Janelle obtained lists of the named routes in Boulder, Colorado (4,527) and Joshua Tree, California (5,633) and fed the data to the network."

I still like "Gorilla Turds" or "Horse Sex". I just haven't found a route that fits either name. When I find one I will provide a TR.

The JT route name output is like listening to Todd Gordon and Tucker Tech's subconsciouses mumbling at each other.

those are some extraordinarily bad route names.
But if we mixed it up a bit how confident are you that you could tell artificial from real route names?
Only kidding.

A computer will never pass the Turing test. It is known. Humans are just too magnificent to have our intelligence rivaled.
But if they ever do, I’m not gonna give them the satisfaction of admitting it. I’m gonna save all my admiration for myself!
