I asked leonardo.ai to generate an image of itself. This is what it gave me. (lemmy.ml)

The developers probably added a pretty detailed prompt to the backend that the AI uses whenever someone asks it to do this. If I was making an AI, I would not risk it spitting out something scary when given this prompt.

Oh you mean Loab?

[–] Just_Pizza_Crust@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a pretty firm believer that Loab is a hoax "cryptid" due the unwillingness of the author to publish anything on the generation parameters. I think the author got one weird result from putting "Loab" in the negative prompt and then used img2img from there. Anyone who shows images of a "cryptid" they discovered but refuses to show proofs is untrustworthy in my opinion.

Hmm, seems like that's everyone claiming to have found a cryptid.

Weird.

[–] Maven@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Well yeah, by definition. If they share proof, it ceases to be a cryptid and simply becomes a discovery.

While cool, I am surprised this is considered noteworthy enough for an article. There's so much experimentation constantly going on with these models, what makes this special? It's more like the inspiration for a creepypasta.

If I was in charge of one of these large AIs, I'd totally have it create the opposite of what OP got. I'd have it be some random eldritch horror creature any time anyone asks it to draw itself just for the fun of it.

Find a way to pull the users camera feed and have it mimic their face for extra fun
