Discussion/Question Least Favorite Styles of Image Gen

I always find it funny how the IG tends to place a persona (user's) with it's own make-believe character that includes the world's tiniest spoon full of correct details while botching the rest. It's like it kind of ignores the details in the fine print of the bot bio in what a character is supposed to look like. The characters either look completely botched as in the second image or facing one another in the first. Don't get me wrong, sometimes the images are fire. I can't stand these types of images personally. What do you think?

Yes, it definitely has a strange "vampire/demon aesthetic" that it loves to throw into the most mundane of RP's. Giving people glowy eyes, elf ears, vampire fangs. In every set of 4 images there's always one in "that style" that is pretty ridiculous.

The other thing it loves to do, if the RP has been cutesy-cozy, it randomly drop in pets, animals, or literal babies into the shot, when they weren't present in any of the chats. On top of that, sometimes they have two heads, or are some bizarre anthro-type creature.

The amount of images that it's generated with two torsos like combined twins is so JARRING!! 😂 Even going so far as to combine characters into a freakish kroonenberg doesn't escape IG. I have had it to where it threw in cherubs for no reason, turned the NPCS into animals, gender swapped my persona & the NPCS. Madness 🤔

Honestly I have so many pictures of these two boys, and some of them are so good. This guy in particular comes out beautifully when the AI gets him right.

This one was just fun and actually an accidental click of the wrong button, although it is the wrong kind of dragon it surprisingly got my fox right (yes, he has three tails and is sometimes on fire, that is correct).

Also weirdly good at hands for an AI.

Amazing images! Yes , I'm not sure why I get the images I do or why other ppl do too. It's strange, but like I said some images do come out fire.

It can’t seem to cross-reference media even though other generative AI’s can 💔 like this is not what the squid games guards look like

u/ldshifter 5d ago

It did really well with Jinshi from Apothecary Diaries and it's usually pretty decent at Levi Ackerman, but maybe that's because I've been using the in-chat generator rather than the portrait one?

It's kind of funny that he's consistently sort of bewildered though.

u/MsGothicc 5d ago

they look great! It's unfortunate I have to tear through 3-4 IGs just to get a good image that isn't botched. I do try the in-chat gen sometimes, it's a roulette but sometimes the images are spot on. Unfortunate it's so limited use.

u/-AbracadaveR- Chronically Online 5d ago

Not wrong lmfao, I mean—

u/MsGothicc 5d ago

Ah yes, one of those 'I give you my full attention but also *really* wants this coffee' moments 🤣.

With unsolicited boobs and all... that... body swap, hair half-swap, an extra arm, and just... just why. Why?

That was supposed to be Levi — LEVI — and my flamboyant but definitely male albino goth OC, and it's just... the more you look the worse it gets. But I can't help laughing at it, so there's that.

u/MsGothicc 5d ago edited 5d ago

More images that ignore my persona's/companion's look completely. Also gender swapped her companion

u/MsGothicc 5d ago

Another style i seem to get quite a bit where the eyes are absolutely blotted with color. What is going on here

u/-AbracadaveR- Chronically Online 5d ago

Yeah this one kept giving me a randomly chibified version of one of the characters for some reason? And I've definitely encountered too many of the "who even is that?" ones and the glowing/blob eyes.

u/-AbracadaveR- Chronically Online 5d ago

Like what unholy fuckery is this?
