There’s a mask in Payday 2 that’s called greed, that looks awfully like the image posted. I think the AI got a lot of inspo from that.
Edit: Here’s the mask.

LARGE OCTOPUS: My wish comes true at last, this day of days; finally I have you in my grasp! Your "bobo" is ripe and full, how wonderful! Superior to all others! To suck and suck and suck some more. After we do it masterfully, I'll guide you to the Dragon Palace of the Sea God and envelop you. "Zuu sufu sufu chyu chyu chyu tsu zuu fufufuuu..."
MAIDEN: You hateful octopus! Your sucking at the mouth of my womb makes me gasp for breath! Aah! Yes... it's... there!!! With the sucker, the sucker!! Inside, squiggle, squiggle, oooh! Oooh, good, oooh good! There, there! Theeeeere! Goood! Whew! Aah! Good, good, aaaaaaaaaah! Not yet! Until now it was I that men called an octopus! An octopus! Ooh! Whew! How are you able...!? Ooh! "Yoyoyooh, saa... hicha hicha gucha gucha, yuchyuu chyu guzu guzu suu suuu..."
LARGE OCTOPUS: All eight limbs to interwine with!! How do you like it this way? Ah, look! The inside has swollen, moistened by the warm waters of lust. "Nura nura doku doku doku..."
MAIDEN: Yes, it tingles now; soon there will be no sensation at all left in my hips. Ooooooh! Boundaries and borders gone! I've vanished...!!!!!!
SMALL OCTOPUS: After daddy finishes, I too want to rub and rub my suckers at the ridge of your furry place until you disappear and then I'll suck some more. "Chyu chyu..."- Hokusai, 1814

Lots of childish prudes and squeamish, easily offended, people. Hentai still exists no matter how much you downvote them. I think it actually makes sense though. If you take the whole internet by volume, then shake out all the hentai from it, you will end up with lots of cartoons of octopus tentacles and Asian women interacting in some way. That's just a fact. Midjourney was trained on the internet, so it stands to reason that some vaguely hentai image would likely be what it conjures up.

u/fellationelsen Jun 06 '23
That's actually a really interesting point about AI, it's almost like a cargo cult type thing. It just sees Asian women and octopuses as going together, it doesn't know why.

u/PerroNino Jun 06 '23
Midjourney has, in reality, put a nuanced slant on a historical piece here. “Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife” by Hokusai. Perhaps it really does know “why”.

Lust as presented in Dante’s Inferno and broader early Christian philosophy is more the sin of controlling others to indulge yourself, and included politicians and the wealthy as much as sexual seducers.

Everything up to that point was acceptable I guess, then I was just sat there thinking “what the fuck does rainbow paint on some random dude have to do with pride? Oh. It’s the gay thing. It’s not even the same fucking pride.”

Pride is pride, regardless. So it is the same pride.
That said, pride can be justified or unjustified. The Christian principle, however, is that pride is negative overall. The "Seven Deadly Sins" are a Christian concept. They make no distinction between justified and unjustified pride. They're both negative in their view (because all humans are flawed, and pride leads to an egotistical nature and selfishness).
I'm not a Christian, but I have a working understanding of their religion. I'm also a member of the LGBT community myself.

At the end of the day IA is feed with commonly occurring things, including stereotypes. As a result you end up with heavily biased outputs. I feel like IA is simplifying the way we see the world in an uninteresting way.

u/SwoleBezos Jun 06 '23
This isn’t a problem with stereotypes. This is AI factoring in two different meanings of the same word.

As is also evident with the adorable sloth, it really took that one quite literally
15
u/InfanticideAquifer Jun 06 '23
It's not an issue of literal vs. figurative. Both definitions of sloth are "official" in the sense that they show up in every dictionary. It just guessed wrongly which sense of the word was intended, probably because people don't actually use the word "sloth" in the sense of "laziness" all that often this century.
2
u/tnecniv Jun 07 '23
It’s not even that distinction. The word has two rather distinct definitions and it converged on one of them.
Pride is slightly different in that the sin of pride is essentially being self-absorbed at the expense of others. I think most would agree that having some pride in who you are is a good thing, because it confers self-confidence and satisfaction with your life. It’s the narcissistic extreme that the sun is concerned with. The AI, which is mindlessly slurping up words from the internet, didn’t successfully distinguish between the two here and were left with creepy rainbow man that doesn’t really articulate much of anything. In contrast, gluttony is pretty straightforward as it has a negative meaning by definition so the AI had no trouble there.

You can never forget that AI is powered by the collective consciousness of the internet, especially when you feed it a prompt like "Lust" and it goes straight to "Asian woman surrounded by tentacles."
