Well, it appears the day has finally arrived: I am being replaced by Artifical Intelligence!

Except, it's not just any AI, but a highly specific form known as VI.  No, not "six", but "Vapor Intelligence".  Soon, VI will be everpresent, although for now all it's really trained to do is create geocaching puzzles, and even that's looking a bit iffy at the moment.  That could have something to do with the fact that the scientists are training it by hooking a bunch of wires to my head.  I warned them!

To test VI, the scientists asked it to generate images of some two-word phrases which are anagrams of each other.  But VI may have been distracted; I know I was.  They took a look at the results, sighed, and called it a day.  Maybe you can apply some good old Human Intelligence and see what's going on in VI's head?

 

Solving note: some of the two-word solutions could arguably be phrased with either word appearing first.  To help keep things straight, for each response I provide a * in front of the word that appears first alphabetically.
