It plays connect the dots based on the rules of its own internal neural networks, and then it hands you the conclusion in a nice neat neural package.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ember1741\" class=\"ember-view\">Flip The Pic<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, you can always hit the override button, to literally change your mind, and choose to be open to a different interpretation.
