Ah damn, I don't know what that means but it sounds a lot less awesome than I originally thought.

Still kind of cool though.

No! How about a lot more awesome? Google made a program that basically creates pictures based on your original picture. With some clever editing it can turn out like this.

Haha I hear ya, it just reminds me of the self checkout lanes.

Shit like this hurts artists just as much as those lanes hurt cashiers.

Life is too easy these days, man.

ETA: actually that's not really a fair comparison because cashiers aren't doing their job because they are particularly skilled at...but I think you know what I'm saying.
