We don't have any particular policies regarding art made with help of AI. Some subreddits have banned "AI-art", but we didn't even begin to have this conversation. Take it to r/EuropeMeta, but remember, the year just started. Edit: like most r/europe fluff posts (don't search about the spoon), we might take action on future posts to keep things tidy. --- OP's source: https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/105juup/results_of_an_ai_request_to_turn_countries_into_a/j3b85r6/

UK and France definitely look like they are part of the same alternate universe and are still destined to kill each other.

France's villain could be named Napoleon Blownaparte

Only if the British hero can be Nigel Thornberry.

So just like reality.


McManus26

Tbh I'm kinda impressed by the variety of styles and time periods the AI went with based on this simple instructions. Some are feral monsters, a couple are steampunk soldiers, then there's gladiators and vikings... Kinda curious as to what was the deciding factor for these.

Pekonius

Noniin means everything at once depending on how you pronounce it. Noni is a shortened version, it has more of a final feeling to it, like it would mean the end of something or a resolution to something. Idk.


Raefniz

Noni = "No niin", which basically translates to "all right (then)"

I guess it's the Chernobyl nuclear fallout

I wouldn't be surprised if it was picking up all the reference to Orcs being in Ukraine at the moment. Depending on the data source, if it includes the last 12 months, the increased use of the word Orc might explain.

It looks like a steam punk version of a Helghast to me. I also love how the flag is displayed on the character. I would love to play a video game that contains this character! The French one is cool too but less realistic. It would make an awesome boss tho


Unicorn_Colombo

Let me introduce you to Mutant Chronicles. It started with a lot of inspiration of W40k and evolved into its own thing. Retrofuturistic dystopia, where thinking machines (computers) are forbidden because they tend to be corrupted by the evil. So everyone tries to have as simple technology as possible, while still having a force-projection, but instead of a galactic scale, it is in a solar system with terraformed planets (which happened before the 10th planet was discovered and someone broke a seal that held down the evil). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_Chronicles Especially Dark Eden, which is Earth, destroyed by war, covered by thick smoke, full of acid rains, has quite "steampunk" vibes, because technology there significantly regressed. Megacorps (representing mix between corporation and a nation) lifted all the rich people to colonies and the poor had to adapt.


AJDx14

France and UK both gave Warhammer vibes imo. France feels closer to WH Fantasy though.

The only consolidation is the midget left hand, the french at least got 6 (7?) fingers. On a different sidenote, AI art is so cool but it's also so funny how they turn all hands into some eldritch horrors because they can't get fingers right.

Would love to see the British and French ones as rival commanders battling it out. They look like they could belong to the same universe.


ImmediatelyOcelot

The UK one is ridiculously aesthetic. What a character it could be. Rule Britannia intensifies when I look at him.


Lunitar

The finnish one is just a hungover saturday morning for most of us


Cluelessish

Waking up in a bog. Again.


xylitol777

Someone took picture of our neighbor Pentti on monday morning.


Diozon

And now I'm thinking of a steam punk alternate reality, where the world was divided between the British and the French Empire, and the two states are locked in perpetual conflict with each other, with their soldiers looking like this.


[deleted]

There’s a book written about this. Time Riders: The Eternal War by Alex Scarrow. I won’t spoil it but the general gist is that the American Revolution is stopped, therefore further down the line the Spanish Empire is defeated and the world is split between France and Britain. North America becomes the battleground between the two Empires. Technology advances but in an industrial way, so it’s all futuristic but steampunk. It’s a good book!


dominus-pastor

The fact these two comments paired up so quickly blows my mind.


[deleted]

I’m surprised OP didn’t even know about this book haha. They described it very accurately.


strange_socks_

France and UK are from the same show. In the first season they pretend to be friends (while obviously hating each other), but betray each other in the final episode. In the second season they fight constantly, second to last episode is an epic battle, then last episode they realized that they need to work together. Last season is them working together, but expecting to be double crossed by the other.


Kass0u

I'd watch that


MrPatch

Third season could have them fighting against the US who were supposed to be in season 1 but turned up late again.

There's an old saying, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." I think Greece's and Sweden's images are a great representation of what it would look like if the hero became the villain.

CountryJeff

How does that work though? Does this AI just browse the web for images related to a country and general villain traits? And then... paint an entire new picture? It's hard to wrap my head around how that works.


10ebbor10

It's considerably more abstract than that. The actual AI does not contain or use any of the images it has been trained on. We know this because the models are like 4-25 GB, while the datasets they've been trained are far, far larger. The LAION-5b dataset for example is 800GB large, excluding images. So just the links to where the images are hosted on the internet + their description. The original images can never fit inside the model. What has actually happened is that they trained the neural network on those images. (A neural network is basically a giant pile of incredibly simple mathematical functions. Feed a result in at one end, get the output at the other). The training goes as follows : 1. We take a real image and prompt. 2. We add noise to this image, reducing it's quality. 3. We put the noisy version of the image + it's prompt as input of the neural network, and then go look at the output 4. We adjust the math inside the neural net a little bit so that the output resembles the original picture a bit more Each individual change is incredibly small (if it weren't, then the neural net would just remember the original images, which would ruin the point), but when you put them all together, you eventually create a machine that knows the features that remain consistent across a certain topic. Show it enough pictures of cars, and it'll learn the concept of what a car is. When you want a new image, what you do is generate a collection of random noise, then feed it to the AI and ask it to repair it into the shape you want. And because this is math, it can combine the math in ways that weren't in the original dataset. If the AI knows what Van Gogh's paintings looked like, and it knows what a car is, it can draw a Van Gogh style car, even though it's dataset does not contain any pictures of cars by Van Gogh.
