<p>keras is probably the highest level and easiest to go into.

<p>Stories like <a href="https://aiweirdness.com/post/185339301987/once-again-a-neural-net-tries-to-name-cats" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> one are quite popular these days.</p>

<p>Is there novice-friendly software I could play with to train a neural net to do something like this or is there necessarily a steep learning curve?</p>

You can take a look at PyTorch an open source deep learning platform which in my opinion is very easy to get started with, especially if you're familiar with programming in python.
