MIT has built an AI that makes your pictures really spooky

In spite of warnings from some of the world's smartest people, engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a very scary AI. To be more specific, they've built a deep learning algorithm to teach an AI what various kinds of spooky image look like, so that it can tweak other images to make them look spookier. They call it the'Nightmare Machine'. It's learnt a number of styles, from'Fright night' to'Inferno', which the team has applied to a bunch of famous landmarks from around the world. There are a bunch more examples over on the team's Instagram account.
