Loab

 

Resynthesis of an image of 'Loab', which this sciencealert article describes as 'a nightmare face haunting ai art'.  Loab even has its own wikipedia page.  Urban myth?  Ai art trolling?  Real phenomena?

I tried an 'image to text' synthesis approach and generated the following text off of the Loab image used in the article.  Same image i used as the one-shot seed for generating above via image to image resynthesis.

"the woman just she their the woman she completely not having just her girl all her real <unk> some women have <unk> and she

several women very shocked her life like she just had a lot of fun around a giant mushroom giant woman and her little daughter

she almost died child who made famous was shocked at her death so very angry she <unk> joke and smiling at dead lady with ear

a woman with a child who's almost to hurt her mother had her ugly face, <unk> who she was dressed in a hospital"

I then ran a few iterations of a resynthesis embedding drift on the original Loab image and got the image below.
