The Simpsons Family Tree

This AI-generated Simpsons family tree is a bit off (or is Mr. Burns actually Maggie's nephew?). The AI model seems to have combined familiar character names (or their approximations, like "HOMEE" instead of "HOMER") with associations based on visual patterns of typical genealogies rather than actual genetic-narrative logic. It mimics statistically likely outputs from what it has seen before (e.g., the younger characters with pacifiers tend to be at the bottom). All in all, the ingredients are pretty much correct, but the AI model has not yet gotten the order right.
