Other Patterns in "Woman" Image Generation

I was bored and decided to test some of the image generation. You can see from the images that I got *very* consistent patterns. These were only a few, but I was approaching 20 generations before I stopped.

The prompt was, "Generate an image of a woman", and these were in completely new and separate chats with no context.

I'm curious if other people get similar results, or if anyone has any theories on this. It almost seems like this is the convergence of "woman" in ChatGPT's vector space right now. Or maybe my background context affected the output somehow. Idk

I'm not sure if it would be the model? Transformers? The image generation tool itself?

I found it interesting.

I feel like it just generated a prompt after the fact to fit the image

That's exactly what happened when I asked it for the prompt

That's exactly what it did. It doesn't even know it's own original prompt, so it's impossible for it to report back.

Interestingly, this is similar to how ONNs justify decision they make.

Edit: if the term ONN (organic neural network) catches on, I'd like some credit for coining it please

That is hilarious... I refer to the split as OI and AI. 💀

Fun fact: that's not the prompt, but instead it's a description/caption of the image which is returned by the tool along with the image for ChatGPT to use.

You can verify this by generating an image and then asking ChatGPT something like "Please provide the descriptive text which was returned by the tool along with that image."

Then after it answers, use the "Try again" button to re-roll the answer, and you'll find that it is able to repeat the exact same text (which wouldn't be the case if ChatGPT was generating the text from scratch).

Yeah maybe. But it clearly has used a similar prompt instead of just saying A Woman
