This story on how AI is evolving is downright creepy.

Who is Loab ? Where did she come from ?

[ATTACH=full]151586[/ATTACH]
An AI-generated character might not sound so remarkable in an era of deepfakes and all manner of digital alchemy.

But Loab is different.

Generated by accident, she leaves an indelible trace on every image associated with her persona.

She’s often accompanied by extreme gore and violence, and it’s not clear why.

Not even those who understand this tech can explain what she’s doing here.

WARNING: The following content may be distressing for some viewers.

Loab (pronounced “lobe”) was first discovered in April this year by 31-year-old artist Steph Swanson, known online as Supercomposite.

Steph was at home in Uppsala, Sweden, experimenting with one of the many game-changing AI image generation tools which are now publicly available.

These tools produce original images that are based on the description you type in.
