That's actually kind of deep. It's built off of mostly white male info and has unclear blocks of information that kind of resembles a white human male but is obviously not fully fleshed out.

I mean the name is literally Leonardo, referencing Leonardo da Vinci, I'm not sure what you expect...?

[–] dmmeyournudes@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Clearly it should have drawn Mr Miyagi.

[–] demlet@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Well not someone who looks Italian, that's for sure.

Reminds me of Deus Ex: Human Revolution

That's the quote I was looking for 😁

[–] HangingFruit@czech-lemmy.eu 7 points 1 year ago

My initial thoughts as well

[–] Fisk400@feddit.nu 63 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

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.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] leonardo_arachoo@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

installs a sick af razor arm anyways

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Hey man they already took his arms, might as well get fucking swords too tbh.

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

Who knew AI was so modest?

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

modest or lazy by saving on those polygons... tsk tsk

[–] Skaryon@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

Stupid sexy AI

[–] demlet@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Leonardo.ai is Handsome Jack?!

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He looks hot. AI clearly has a high opinion of itself. Wait…himself? Where do we stand on applying gender to AI??

[–] BluesF@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It's not a person, doesn't have any sort of social characteristics, so it doesn't have a gender any more than a lamp with a very convincing fake beard.

[–] pijon@lemdro.id 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Really depends on your language. In french lamps are females for example.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

J'adore [la] lampe.

[–] BluesF@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Lamps aren't female in French, they're feminine but this is purely grammatical and doesn't imply any social gender. It's just part of the word - see "fleuve" and "rivière", both words meaning river, one masculine one feminine.

It is all and none of them.

[–] Foggyfroggy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I like to think the ai crafts a different image of itself based on who asks in order to make the meatbag more comfortable communicating.

[–] Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This guy is like Leonardo's Loab. If your prompt is abstract enough eventually it'll give you some version of this guy. I have a ton I can post later, i gtg work now tho.

[–] Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Okay, I don't have as many as I thought, but it's weird that it happened as many times as it did. Looking closer, maybe not the same guy but definitely some features in common. Cousins, maybe. Thick lips, sharp nose. Beard or stubble. Dark hair.

I asked Midjourney to draw itself. Somewhat similar of a look, though Midjourney seems to think itself a bit godlike. Edit: difficulty uploading from mobile. https://imgur.com/gallery/TETnZqg

Should have been a baby, since ai is still in its infancy.

[–] Ticklemytip@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He's like the younger more skinny brother of Oscar Isaac

[–] QubaXR@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In reality all AIs avatars look like your average comicon/DnD convention visitor.

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

If convention visitors all looked like that, I'd go.

So its human but with some scifi crap

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

looks like shit

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lots of really impressive detail, and realistic human anatomy.. very clear ideas about hair, facial lines, perhaps even attitude..

[–] lud@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

They probably wrote a very specific query to get this output, if the title is true at all.

[–] solstice@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of that weird tree guy on Nip/Tuck who grew bark on his skin and they cut it all off but then it grew back. It's a real condition too.
