MIT scientists are foolishly training AI to scare people

Just in time for Halloween and the presidential election, MIT scientists have created an AI that makes images spooky. Think of it like filter app Prisma, but with a more sinister spin. A three-person team created an algorithm called Nightmare Machine that generates Halloween-inspired images from pictures of faces and places. It's not the first creepy AI -- Google's Deep Dream has been creating nightmares since June -- but some early results are promising. The algorithm is still a work-in-progress, however.
