I discovered this woman, who I call Loab, in April. The AI reproduced her more easily than most celebrities. Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches.

What I understand of it is that AIs can get a little confused when creating images, and when that happens, this creepy face (or alternate versions of “her” of course, since the AI isn’t going to pump out exactly the same thing all the time) can come out as a result. Someone named her “Loab” because of some text that showed up in the background of one of the images.
Here is a CNET article from last year on it. It is creepy, but an interesting, unintended side effect of the technology.

Ah thank you, I was too lazy to search for an article. That’s what was missing from this post…
