While you see flowers, Norman sees gunfire.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed what is likely a world first -- a "psychopathic" artificial intelligence (AI).
Norman is an AI system trained to perform image captioning, in which deep learning algorithms are used to generate a text description of an image.
However, after plundering the depths of Reddit and a select subreddit
dedicated to graphic content brimming with images of death and destruction,
Norman's datasets are far from what a standard AI would be exposed to.
The results are disturbing, to say the least.
In one inkblot test, a standard AI saw "a black and white photo of a red and white umbrella," while Norman saw "man gets electrocuted while attempting to cross busy street."
