As well as buildings, the team has been working on making people's faces scarier. That algorithm has been taking a bit more tweaking, and to that end the team wants your help rating whether a selection of faces are scary or not to improve it.

To: BenLurkin
Looks like the AI was fed a bunch of French Impressionist styles with a touch of Dali and Picasso.
