Obviously given the training data, it’s not surprising that a defining feature of AI images is that they have a certain uncanny familiarity to them, but there’s a certain class of those images, which I tend to see more often than most other styles it can produce, which give me that sense more strongly. I think I finally put my finger on what they remind me of the most: Goosebumps novels cover art. They tend to be a little more detailed and less kind of ‘painty’ looking than the actual covers they seem to imitate but but something about the shading and composition just seems very reminiscent of those. I could definitely see this along with many other such images on the cover of a Goosebumps book.
That’s true! I’ve seen goosebumps come up in the comments before as well.
I wonder why that’s the case, those covers weren’t made with AI… were they
Time for a meta goosebumps book, about the creation of goosebumps
Confirmed, at the core of the training data is just all the Goosebumps covers LMAO an honor well deserved IMO, I always loved the cover art lol
The texture of the tongue and gums is super creepy
This is quite haunting. I’m not going to sleep well tonight.
