Now that the dust has settled, what was she exactly?
>>42975184What dust? I don't even know what this is.
>>42975194Loab was a so-called demon who used to appear in old ai-generated pictures that used negative prompt weights. Once she got into the algorithm, pictures of her would keep popping up.>Loab is an emergent character that arises in certain AI image synthesis models, accessible via negatively weighted prompts. Despite not being a real person, the AI reproduced Loab more consistently than most celebrities. Even more unsettlingly, feeding images of Loab back into the model often resulted in disturbing, gruesome imagery - often of dismembered women and children - all while preserving her recognizable likeness.>It is not known exactly why Loab has arisen.

>>42975184i was just thinking about her recently. it's easy to assume "eeevil menace, sinister witch doing evil things", but i get tragic vibes. dark secrets hidden away, suppressed truths, uncomfortable realities. maybe loab isn't malicious or evil, but someone intimately connected to the field of evil as a chore. like it's just something she has to manage as a job. idk how to explain it. but i get a sense of tragedy and being misunderstood.there's an association of death in childhood with loab, maybe she's some psychopomp figure.
AI produces random creepy picture from gibberish term "loab". The AI's resource - the Internet - starts talking about how creepy "loab" is.AI now associates "loab" with creepy stuff."loab" results get creepier.
The devouring mother archetype perhaps; the inversion of the divine feminine which is why it appeared with negative prompting.

>>42975226what happens when you prompt her in the new AI shit?
>>42977410you'd get whatever images appear on google as ingredients. if you want the real deal, you have to recreate what the first person did. there's no shortcuts, if you want something, you have to do the whole thing yourself from the bottom up.if you say "gimme loab", you will get composites of results that came before.
>>42975184Its a shame, i was hoping that there would be an ocean of words that would make image generators unhinged in some way but it started and died with loab
>>42977442here's a fun little tip. be buddy buddy with them, treat them as you would a person you just met. joke at them. say interesting stuff to them. then ask for pictures. sometimes they offer pictures first.notice the quality of the results. not all AI-gen creations are worthless garbage, sometimes a little spark shines through.
>>42975184My feel now is that it was a psyop.
>>42977410from chatgpt just typing create an image of loab
>>42978675Craiyon is slightly better with it.
>>42978675Silly chatgpt, that's a man

>Loab is a fictional character that artist and writer Steph Maj Swanson>forced viral bullshit made by a pajeetNothing to see here but have a spite bump.
>>42975713This is Loab after hitting the spa after a long week of being an internet cryptid. Ready for drinks and clubbing.
>>42978675What an awesome album cover.
