Androids do dream of electric sheep

A better title of the article would have been `Fascinating and sometimes unsettling pictures that result from neural networks reinforcing perceived patterns.`

I find the use of the phrase "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" to be a bit of a gimmick and it does not do the depth of the original question justice. But the article (and some more from the originator at Google [1]) are magnificent.
