A little while ago we posted about Google’s Deep Dream artificial neural network, which is capable of making trippy images out of white noise. Sure, it’s a pretty smart AI, but in more human terms it looks like an acid trip generator.

Of course, people couldn’t just leave it alone, and Gizmodo says a Github user has posted instructions online on how to feed video and audio clips through Deep Dream, with similarly disturbing results.

The movie the Github user chose for a demonstration is one that’s already about acid trips – Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas – and the resulting imagery is now something from of the realm of nightmares, and no taking of banned substances is required to “enjoy” it.

Behold:

Disturbing, right? While Deep Dream’s still images are fantastically funkadelic, these moving ones are even trippier. I get the heebie jeebies just watching this .GIF.

If, for whatever reason, you’d like to see the whole video, it’s embedded below for your convenience. And if you’ve got a favourite audio or video clip you’d like to feed through Deep Dream, you can find the instructions here.
