Now, an AI system developed by MIT students Ziv Epstein and Matt Groh adds spooky figures to your photos, no reality TV show required. Called AI Spirits, it's a website that lets you upload empty landscapes, to be haunted with humanoid shadows. "In the world all around us, many people have lived full lives and passed on. Yet they are still with us emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually," says Epstein. "In the business of daily life, we can forget them and only see the empty scenes all around us. AI Spirits is a visualization of saudade: the presence of absence."
