More on the NovelAI image gen thing
Follow-up to this.
I also find it interesting that the NovelAI image generation thing definitely knows who some fictional characters are, but not others.
For instance, even if it decides to embellish or take liberties at times, it mostly at least kind of knows:
For "Captain Kirk" (the first prompt I tried after "Mr. Spock"), it just gave kind of generic looking blonde guys wearing vaguely Star Trek-ish uniforms, but that was as close as it got, so it at least sort of recognized him, but not really?
Others it didn't seem to know at all, though, like "Mr. Data" (just random girls, mostly) or "Dr. McCoy" (just random doctor looking people, both male and female).
It definitely knew "Spider-Man" (though it tended to sometimes give him extra limbs... you know, like a spider, so it wasn't exactly wrong, per se). And none of the several results I got even tried to feminize him the way it did with Batman.
It knew "Super Mario" enough to give me characters that looked like Princess Peach or Daisy or Rosalina, and sometimes they were even wearing a Mario-ish hat. It also gave a couple rather disturbing images of (what kind of looked like) Mario's head on a generic female body.
It did a better job (for the most part) with "Sonic the Hedgehog" than what the first movie initially did with him.
And it knew "Samus Aran," for sure, though a lot of the results for that particular prompt were of a rather NSFW-ish nature.
It also knew "Godzilla."
"Ghostbusters" was rather interesting because though it mostly just gave generic anime-looking people with vaguely Ghostbusters-ish clothing and (sometimes) equipment, rather than any specific characters from the movies (or cartoons), a couple of the results were actually of landmarks that looked quite like the GB firehouse or the Shandor building (complete with ghost vortex above it) rather than people, and there was even an image of a hearse (not Ecto-1, mind you, just a plain red hearse, but still, that's somewhat relevant to Ghostbusters), or even images of what looked vaguely like the ghost in the Ghostbusters logo. All of that with just a "Ghostbusters" prompt. I kind of wish now that I'd saved those (though it probably wouldn't be too difficult to get other similar images later, if I really wanted to).
It even kind of knew "Doctor Who," giving me guys who sort of looked like The Doctor (typically David Tennant or Matt Smith looking guys, and also a couple Jodie Whittaker looking women), but it also gave me a couple of Dalek-ish and Cybermen-ish aliens. And... an image of a person with what looked a bit like a TARDIS/police box for a head, which I just had to save.
And on that note, I think I'll stop right there, for real.
I also find it interesting that the NovelAI image generation thing definitely knows who some fictional characters are, but not others.
For instance, even if it decides to embellish or take liberties at times, it mostly at least kind of knows:
- Mr. Spock (the only input I gave the AI was, simply, "Mr. Spock"): #1, #2, #3.
- Captain Picard (again, prompt was only "Captain Picard"): #1, #2, #3
- Superman: #1, #2, #3
- Batman: #1, #2, #3 (though with the "Batman" prompt, it really seemed to want to make Batman into Batwoman or Batgirl, though, for instance:) #4, #5, #6
- Wolverine: #1, #2, #3
