Milan Jaram describes himself as an artist who "horrifies your cozy childhood memories with dark twists on your favorite shows, cartoons and pop culture." With his AI-fication of Simpsons characters, Jaram has succeeded handily. AI Homer is not looking happy. A muscle-bound, rage-filled Homer looks ready to Hulk-smash his way through Springfield; Marge has morphed into the bride of Frankenstein; and Krusty the Clown's menacing face will be the nightmare of children and clown PR teams everywhere. Mischievous Bart and Millhouse, meanwhile, now have sad, hollow eyes drained of any youthful whimsy, and good-natured Ned Flanders looks totally defeated.

Even the best photographers get the occasional blurry snaps. But the mediocre ones like me get them all the damn time. Thankfully, a new AI tool can make even crappy snappers look like Mario Testino. But it does an impressive job of giving fuzzy portraits a creepy, HD makeover. The tool was developed by Duke University researchers as a new approach to photo correction.

How long before you come across some #FoodPorn? While pictures of food are everywhere on Instagram, the app doesn't allow links in posts so there's no easy way to find recipes. But that could be about to change. Pic2Recipe!, a website created by MIT electrical engineering and computer science student Nick Hynes, is a neural network that's been trained to recognise food from more than one million recipes on Food.com and AllRecipes. "It can look at a photo of a dish and be able to predict the ingredients and even suggest similar recipes," Hynes says.

This is not Microsoft's first teen-girl chatbot either - they have already launched Xiaoice, a girly assistant or "girlfriend" reportedly used by 20m people, particularly men, on Chinese social networks WeChat and Weibo. Xiaoice is supposed to "banter" and gives dating advice to many lonely hearts. Microsoft has come under fire recently for sexism, when they hired women wearing very little clothing which was said to resemble'schoolgirl' outfits at the company's official game developer party, so they probably want to avoid another sexism scandal.
