This Google AI Turns Your Bad Doodles Into Polished Drawings

This week, Google released a new AI experiment called AutoDraw, which turns your half-baked scribbles into poster-ready clipart. The tool uses machine learning to guess what you're trying to draw and then gives you the option to replace your bad drawing with more polished ones, created by illustrators and design studios like HAWRAF, Erin Butner, Julia Melograna, Pei Liew, Simone Noronha, Tori Hinn, and Selman Design. It's a simple tool that gives those of us without fancy (and expensive) design programs a way to make reasonably professional graphics. In my first attempt to draw something, I started to draw a person. After sketching a blob that distantly resembled a foot, and the program quickly showed me several different types of feet and socks.
