In an attempt to work around this problem in order to program an AI to write Harlequin novels, a programmer first set out to teach an AI to understand love. Over the course of subsequent years following the success of the romantic pirate themed AI writing algorithm, a series of seemingly unrelated research experiments incorporating portions of the commercial sex book writing bot that were licensed out by the greedy developer lead to Skynet nukes every major city on the globe

That was embarrassingly difficult to make semi coherent for what amounts to a throw away joke.
