Someone used AI to create these eery, life-like photos of Pikachu in 1920s Japan

It's impressive to see how far the advancements behind artificial intelligence have come. To a certain extent, it's also pretty scary to know that some day, the jobs we'd normally require humans to do will be replaced by machines. One day, we might not need writers like myself producing the stories you read here. But aside from the potential downsides of artificial intelligence, it's absolutely mind-boggling what it can do with a certain set of restrictions, especially when it comes to generating art and realistic photographs. Heck, AI is already winning art competitions.
