Disturbing discovery after creepy AI-generated woman found ‘lurking’ in memory of intelligent machine

A CREEPY image of a female has been discovered lingering in an AI's mind, the product of some unintentional programming.

Artificial intelligence machines have always promoted efficiency, but recently many people have expressed fear of them becoming sentient.

Swedish musician Supercomposite shared that fear after discovering an AI-generated image of a woman they dubbed 'Loab'.

Supercomposite uncovered Loab in April after conducting experiments with a series of negative prompt weights.

This means the AI was programmed to gather the furthest opposite of a beginning point.

Supercomposite intended for a typical logo to emerge from the negatively weighted prompt of actor Marlon Brando.

Instead, the birth of the haunting AI-generated image was born.

Supercomposite wrote in a Twitter post: "Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches."

"I wondered: is the opposite of that logo, in turn, going to be a picture of Marlon Brando? I typed "DIGITA PNTICS skyline logo::-1" as a prompt.

"I received these off-putting images, all of the same devastated-looking older woman with defined triangles of rosacea on her cheeks," Supercomposite described Loab in a Twitter post.

For Supercomposite, this was a trial-and-error process, but over and over, the AI-generated the same horrifying woman.

Supercomposite combined a friend's image of a glass tunnel surrounded by angels with the original photo of Loab, and the result was gruesome.

"I innocently combined this image with the original image of Loab in an image prompt, without text. For reasons we can't fully explain, nightmares ensued," Supercomposite said.

The images were frightening as multiple faces of Loab emerged with bloody eyes and distorted faces.

There were several images the artist did not share as they believe it would traumatize many people — a horrific one generated by the AI showed Loab crying blood while holding a bloody child's head.

"The angel hallway + Loab also produced art with such copious gore that probably very few people want to see them...I don't feel comfortable posting the most disturbing ones, borderline snuff images of dismembered, screaming children," Supercomposite said.
