Hello everyone and welcome to a new video,
I am sorry for not posting videos in a while
as I’ve been a little busy.
In this video I will be talking about Artificial
Intelligence and making an AI create its own
questions from a dataset.
There are definitely some interesting outputs
I think you’d like to see.
I’ve always wondered about the extent of
Artificial Intelligence and how close it could
come to being able to establish dialogue with
a human and be completely unrecognizable from
a real person.
I thought about one of the main components
that a dialogue’s structure is made from,
questions.
So, in an attempt to be able to have a decent
dialogue with an AI, I made an AI create questions.
Training Data
Before the AI could start formulating questions
on its own, it had to have something to train
on.
For this, I chose the AskReddit Subreddit,
since it was very easy to scrape from and
got new questions every 5 seconds or so.
I made a simple NodeJS scraper that would
get the post title (question) and put it in
a text file named questions.txt and the username
and put it in usernames.txt.
I let it run for about 4 days until it got
around 10k questions.
Something to note is that the dataset was
from December 2019 to January 2020, this is
important because there are some questions
related to new years resolutions and things
like that.
Some of the problems that were apparent at
the start were bad grammar, spelling, and
sentence structure in posts and re-posts.
I was worried that these might prevent the
AI from learning correctly.
If you wish to see the entire 10k+ questions,
I’ll leave link in the description (NSFW
Warning).
I decided to let the AI run with the problems
present in the data set because it was simply
too hard to correct them due to the sheer
number of questions.
The AI
The AI is using TextGenRNN to create the questions.
Keep in mind that the AI has no idea of what
questions, words or sentences are.
To the AI that’s just a bunch of neurons
to compare.
The AI had to learn sentence structure, grammar,
spelling, and punctuation all by itself from
the data set.
The output
The AI has used the 10k question dataset kindly
provided *cough*stolen*cough* from Reddit
to create an output of 128 questions.
It was really interesting to see the results.
Both to see what the AI was capable and how
it represented the way Redditors tend to write.
I have cherrypicked 26 questions from that
list that I’d like you to see.
These were in no way modified apart from adding
a number at the end of some that represent
the number of times that exact question was
found on the dataset, comments, and removing
NSFW words.
People who haven’t pooped in 2020 yet, why
are you still holding on to last years ____?
(16+) – This exact question was seen 16
times and variations of it even more.
This really shows Redditor’s sense of humor
and originality.

” question a lot so I posted on r/AskReddit,
I’ll leave a link down aswell If you’d
like to see it.
