Swedish musician SupercompositeThey shared this fear after seeing an AI image of a woman they had nicknamed Loab.
After conducting experiments using a variety of negative prompts weights, Supercomposite discovered Loab.
This means that the AI was programmed in order to find the farthest point from a starting point.
Supercomposite wanted a common logo to emerge from the prompt of Marlon Marko, who is a negatively weighted actor.
Instead, the AI-generated haunting image was born.
Supercomposite wrote this in a tweet: “Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches.”
“I wondered: is the opposite of that logo, in turn, going to be a picture of Marlon Brando? I typed “DIGITA PNTICS skyline Logo::-1” as a prompt
“I received these off-putting images, all of the same devastated-looking older woman with defined triangles of rosacea on her cheeks,” SupercompositeLoab was described via a Twitter posting.
Supercomposite went through a lot of trial and error, but the AI kept generating the same horrible woman over and over again.
Supercomposite merged the image of Loab in a glass tunnel surrounded with angels from a friend to create a gruesome result.
“I innocently combined this image with the original image of Loab in an image prompt, without text. For reasons we can’t fully explain, nightmares ensued,”Supercomposite
The images were frighteningNumerous faces of Loab appeared with bloody eyes, distorted faces and multiple faces.
There were several images the artist did not share as they believe it would traumatize many people — a horrific one generated by the AI showed Loab crying blood while holding a bloody child’s head.
“The angel hallway + Loab also produced art with such copious gore that probably very few people want to see them…I don’t feel comfortable posting the most disturbing ones, borderline snuff images of dismembered, screaming children,”Supercomposite
