@Gao Apparently recently some fanmade projects are moving past the "text only" roleplay chatbot interfaces like the various Tavern AI and such and trying to create "AI visual novels" that merge chatbots + custom background and message sentiment "detection" to visualize an "emotion picture" of the character.
Others are trying to incorporate things like VTuber models and chatbot - just imagine a chatbot powered Kizuna AI that tries to move according to what she says.
All the limitation of chatbots are there, but some are trying to fight the biggest problems with ... quite creative approach (I think some are trying to go in the direction of "Self modifying Bot prompts - the bot adds notices about relevant info to the prompt that can outlive the usual chat context ).
Probably will still be uncanny but...
Perhaps we are getting closer to the day we will be able to play "Just Monica" as an infinite AI game (because let's be honest, in that case being uncanny would be an actual benefit)
@Gao so... took this picture.
and feed it to various "AI detector" samples online.
Some swear it is AI, some swear it is human,
I have tried some of the previous AI gen images I posted and I got mixed results too (many tools claim the Froppy image is real)
I would call the automated tools inconclusive.
So, I will focus on my eyes only.
Other pointed out some oddities like the braid and such.
I will point out some more.
First, the art style is indeed similar to some AI models but that is not a real clue since the models copy actual art styles in the first place.
Yet some details seem quite off.
- The gray "light reflection" on the hair... I saw that on many older anime model. I am not sure an actual artist would use those colors, they just feel "off". Could be deliberate, but it really looks like a defect of some older model.
- the hair seems a little suspicious, I have seen many models produce that "random single hair strings on the edges" effect. Again, could be deliberate.
- the bow-tie is probably the oddest part. Where does it start??? Are you telling me she is just wearing a tie folded in her dress?? The single yellow line also stands out but the placements is still the oddest thing.
- the arms feel a little off, but that is probably due to the jacket she wears over the shoulder.
Conclusion:
I can't really say, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was an AI base that some human artist then cleaned up.
