Maybe you could explain why you want to encrypt names and what you would do with the encrypted names.
Artificial intelligence is just a combination of many (very fast) “what-if” connections. This is really lame.But with Crypto and blockchain: one could go to all the friends and say “look what I have done”, and maybe have all the girls in your lambo?
Going into s.th. like a “play” mode (or for learning purposes) must not reveal anything useful. Too many inventions were found by accident (or in play mode, because it is fun - look at Crypto kitties on Ethereum - what would be the answers, if someone asked at the beginning, if implementing a Darwin model for virtual kitties on a payment/smart contacts platform makes sense?)
Probably OP’s idea involves a deep learning curve, but as it is not about money, we can strike out two years of intense data security knowledge.
