@sdw said it best on Twitter: "Now they just need a neural net that makes messaging apps that never take off, then they've automated all their work."

Those stickers look a litle bit creepy for me :) But I like the idea.

This looks good. Good to see Google getting into that space too.

Today, Google is introducing a feature in Allo that uses a combination of neural networks and the work of artists to turn your selfie into a personalized sticker pack. Simply snap a selfie, and it’ll return an automatically generated illustrated version of you, on the fly, with customization options to help you personalize the stickers even further.

Yeah- eventually something new/useful for Allo. I don't know why the new google assistance is not fully available in Allo :/

Creepy looking, but also very cool!
