Google Images had a horrific AI crayon image this morning for some reason I never noticed AI Google images before
I briefly considered writing a program that jumps between different scales of Markov process (by letter/word, watching history of different lengths, etc.), connect it to some semantic-analysis APIs, pretend that it's run by massive neural networks and "maybe showing emotions," and seeing how much VC money I could grab...
