The horror movies of the last decades are exploring unknown places and the legends that emerge from the net are one of the most interesting sources to show how the human being can be terrified in a movie theater. On this occasion, thanks to thread created on Twitter by a music composerwe can approach a new phenomenon of modern and digital horror, the one that comes from the innovators image makers from text or voice commands, whose operation we have already shown you with the essential Dall.E or with a weird movie poster generator.
🧵: I discovered this woman, who I call Loab, in April. The AI ​​reproduced her more easily than most celebrities. Her presence of her is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches. CW: Take a seat. This is a true horror story, and veers sharply macabre. pic.twitter.com/gmUlf6mZtk

The woman invoked by artificial intelligence and who responds to the name of Loab
The image generator used by the composer was similar to the best-known proposals, although personalized somehow. Supercompositehis name on Twitter, began to to experience with the negative suggestions. That is, instead of looking for images similar to a certain concept, he tried to find images completely away from the words entered in the search engine. Obviously, the AIs of these models are not so prepared for these requests. The womanin statements collected in the digital media Tech Crunch, it states that:
Latent space is like exploring a map of different concepts of artificial intelligence. The suggestion is like an arrow that tells you how far you have walked on the concept map and in which direction. With negative suggestions, you run as far away from the concept as possible.
Random image created from Brando’s negative concept. Twitter
And this is where the strangeness begins to emerge. Create one similar image to one side is easy, with its nuances obviously. However, create the contrary one-sided is a matter of interpretation. What is the opposite of a face? Supercomposite introduced the command ‘Brando::-1’ to create the opposite of that concept and the resultas you can about below these lines, was a kind of Logo of the silhouette of a city with the text DIGITA PNTICS.
One of the first images obtained of the fictional character named Loab. Twitter
Then the woman thought that perhaps the opposite of this imageentered as the command ‘DIGITA PNITICS skyline logo::-1’, should be Something related with the word Brando. the creepy reality? That was the first meeting with him. entity named digital praise, which you can see in the image above. Every time Supercomposite looked for the negative of the logo, this praise appeared for digitally torment her.
It is evident that use negative concepts in these artificial intelligence engines that generate images does not imply that we are going to meet underworld beings digital on each occasion, but it would be worth studying to know the internal behavior of said AI to check the differences with other models. If Loab has come from a custom generator, could it also appear in DALL.E? Just in case, if you like to use this type of software, we would be careful.
We want to thank the writer of this post for this outstanding content
