AI versions of Lara

ShlomiP · 10-12-22, 22:01

I think it would be amazing people would share their ai creations of their vision of Lara on this thread
These are mine, face-tuned them and I was going sort of for the classic lara vibe with updated graphics/unified lara

I really like the black and white one, that should have been the younger Lara in TR2013.

These are nice. They'd be good for comics or aminated TR. Careful though as AI programs apparently take art that's out there and changes it. For example the third pic looks similar to the renders done by an artist quite well known to the TR community, Corine?

These look pretty cool

! I think my favourite is probably the fifth one (TR1 Lara with the loose hair).

@Rai: It's not so much that they take existing images and change them (although some applications let users manually input existing images), they usually generate images from scratch. It's just the images they generate are based on images it's seen from around the web so some of them may look stylistically similar to works by actual human artists.

Maybe I've misunderstood it all then. I've just seen some artists on my twitter feed saying they've had their art "stolen" by AI programs or that their work has been used by the people using the programs without their permission. I'm not saying this is what has happened here by the OP, to be clear.

Well in order to create images of Lara, it needs to know what Lara looks like. It's probably been trained with loads of images tagged as "Lara". No doubt those images have been taken directly off the web. I'm not sure how fair use works exactly, there could be some copyright issues potentially violated but this could be covered under fair use. The water is incredibly murky with AI, like who owns the images created?. All I know is when I worked with machine learning for my last company, we had to be really careful where the training data came from as to not violate licencing issues.

Well, with some AIs you can say "in the style of [insert artist name here]" and if it's a reasonably well-known artist, the AI will be able to replicate their style. And some AIs let you specify an image whose style you want to copy. That's a bit problematic for your average freelance artist, of course.

A lot of these image generation AIs' training sets probably also did include artworks which were not authorised for that purpose by their authors (I imagine they just crawled the web and gobbled up loads of publicly available images.) but the images from the training sets themselves wouldn't ever be directly incorporated into any of the generated pictures. They're just used to teach the AI what certain types of images ought to look like which will, of course, mean that sometimes you'll get results that look similar to existing imagery (and in a lot of cases that's actually the desired outcome, like, if you're generating photorealistic images, you want them to look like real, existing photos but, of course, when it comes to reproducing the original style of living artists, that's a bit of a grey area).

Very.

Im also dubious if OP fed those images to the AI to begin with. If so, thats very disrespectful to the artists. Because I think once the art used for machine training is in the database, its done with.
These need to be regulated.

The fourth one has a really good nose. I like the nostrils and the buxom harmony of the whole face.

Some AI generated Laras. It seems like the AI machine references reboot Lara in the face.
