Fear and Loathing through the eyes of a computer

Google has spent the last few years teaching computers how to see, understand, and appreciate our world. It's an important goal that the search giant hopes will allow programs to classify images just by "looking" at them, but there's one problem — to computers, our world looks like a horrible nightmare. The first images from Google's project, shown in June, reveal an organic hellscape inhabited by slug monsters and disembodied tentacles. The pictures show leaves that become two-headed birds, horses that grow dogs' heads from every inch of their skin, and humans whose bodies erupt in furry growths. To Google's computers, every surface of our world is covered in eyes.
