MurphyBot: What if Boris Karloff was guacamole?

Moose posted some pics said Thu, Aug 11th 2016 at 3:28pm ET

Project Murphy is another Microsoft robot, but what makes this one different (other than not being a genocidal racist) is that it photoshops crap for you.

All you have to do is ask it “what if _____?” and it will show you just that.

Like what if Star Wars’ big twist was a little different?

Maybe you want to explore genetics

Maybe @Shawn can hook this up, but in the meantime go chat and post your good ones

Oh and in case you were curious…

If Boris Karloff were guacamole, the universe would have imploded into a black hole of wonder. Some sorts of goodness are too intense for mortals.

OR…

Either way, the photoshop is seamless. Are you sure this isn’t just scraping actual photos from the hidden corners of the internet!?

For people using Skype on their android, where the hell does the photo go when you save it? I know I can screenshot it, but that gets old.

I wanted to see what Elton would look like if he were from the good ol’ US of A.

No I meant like, figurative Ol’ America, not Native America

Okay that’s the same picture

I’m talking about America? Y’know, bald eagles and McDonalds and guns and stuff like that?

Murphy no

Please Murphy, just show me
