Artificial intelligence (AI) has slowly been taking over the art scene. AI can critique art alongside the most seasoned critics and dream up trippy images on its own

Now scientists from the Bethge Lab in Germany have built an AI system that can learn a painting's style and apply it to other images.

The results look as though Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh painted their own version of the image. 

According to Leon Gatys, PhD student and the lead on the paper published in the open-source journal arxiv, this is the first "artificial neural system that achieves a separation of image content from style."
