Google's AI will turn your crappy doodles into proper pictures

You no longer need to worry if your drawing is awful, because Google's neural networks have your back--some of the time, at least. The company has just launched a new tool called AutoDraw, which you can think of as Microsoft Paint but with a hulking synthetic brain beneath its plain-looking interface. Draw some squiggles using a rudimentary pen tool via your mouse or touchpad, and the app will provide a list of possible images that it thinks you were trying to render on-screen. Choose one, and your scribbling is replaced with an image that was created by people that can really draw. The software is in fact based on the technology that underlies Google's previous doodling experiment, Quick, Draw!.
