"Suppose you get a salamander. You know, a salamander can regrow its limbs if you cut them off. So all these nasty biology students do things like, they'll cut a limb of the salamander -- a hand, the arm off, just between the shoulder and the elbow, and at the same time, cut the same one between the elbow and the hand, flip around that segment, and re-sew it back on. Nasty thing to do to a salamander. What do you think you get? Does anybody here know? What you get is three elbows. It grows two new elbows to make up for the fact that the wrong thing is connected to the wrong thing." --Gerald Sussman, "We Really Don't Know How To Compute!"

These images look like someone spliced salamander regeneration DNA into a human, cut them into many pieces, and connected the wrong thing to the wrong thing all over the place. Maybe that's what the AI wants to do to us, AM style (I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream)?
