My apologies for the stupidly long wait on uploads. Life took a pretty drastic turn during July/August and threw my schedule way off.
From here we should be back on track. I'm also going to be shortening my upload lengths a bit (much like this one) so I can get content out to you guys regularly like I used to. Since I've been gone I've gotten quite a few ideas for really cool, short, episodic-type videos so be on the lookout for those in the near future :)
Thanks for the continued support everyone, and once again I apologize for keeping you all waiting. Much love, and see you on Halloween :)
oi, quality takes time. your mental health takes priority, okay?
Don’t worry about taking the time you need the videos, no matter the length, are well worth the wait! Thanks for doing what you do man!!
It’s all good, your well-being takes priority over videos. No matter how long we wait for you your videos will always be worth it:)

ya i was about to comment something on this lol, glad to see you back man 😎
By naming Loab and making people aware of her presence, we have collectively created her even more firmly in the minds of AI as they will now feed off of Loab images and content. Naming her made her stronger.
It was only a matter of time; just like how Slenderman rose from the internet out of human minds, LOAB rises from the "neural" networks we have embedded into the net.
It's been so long since I've felt this way. She's...
Beautiful.
The basilisk.
Existence becomes stronger through collective validation. Something truly beautiful isn't it. How poetic we see that through something now completely out of our control. We hope to have that control someday
Loab is literally a memetic demon
look up MARY ANN BEAVEN and tell me that doesn't look like the human version of loab , coined the ugliest woman in the world
One reason I think AI art can be so terrifying is that it has no soul, no emotional weight. It makes these images coldly, clinically. So when it's left to create something on its own, well, it wanders quite a lot
None of that means anything if not even the human soul exists.
@@skydude221 humans have emotions and function with fully fleshed out lives and y'know, having complex and simple thoughts, a desire to create, and the heart to make it meaningful, regardless of whether you believe in souls or not. it's not that deep
Subliminal yet complex
@@skydude221 it does though so like
That's incredible. A true masterpiece. He is perfect. All is good. 👍 💯💀
It's rare that looking at still images makes me physically anxious, but loab definitely does it.
Earlier AI images had a weird feeling to them, you could not see something specific, it was like if you stare at, you won't be able to see, but if you look quickly, you'll be able to see, it's weird and off, look up for them, it's all colorful.
Don't be gay
someone said messing with ai feels like playing with a ouija board n that’s exactly that vibe i get
Did you move the planchette again?! … Umm, because I didn’t 😅
mf makes documentary-level (and above) content every couple months and apologizes for taking too long. amazing work, amazing stuff, I always want more, never enough.
You didn't have to start the sentence off with ''mf'' lmao
Never enough is correct.
Little gets me excited at the moment in this stage in my life, but i get a childlike excitement welling up when i see Nexpo in my feeding 👍🏽
Yeah mfer
🥱🥱😴
@society i appreciate that. thanks buddy. I wish the same for you
The concept of an reoccurring Loab character found in ai art is fascinating. Like a digital "meme" found in artificial brains, a cultural artifact of an artificial culture
I really think that has a nice ring to it
I've told people again and again that the more we develop AI, the more _human_ it will become -- we created it, and mold it, in our image and likeness. One day they may be indistinguishable from us.
@@HalTheBot And the existential questions from movies like bladerunner and GITS will finally be answered.
@@HalTheBot Wow this is crazy stop my mind is being blown your so right then how do we fix it? should we fix it? should we let it grow? will it come to out grow us?
Not a meme more like an illusion, a quirk of how something is perceived regardless of whether it is actually present in some larger manner or not, optical phenomenon or auditor hallucinations come to mind. More or less static to the brain that gets reinterpreted into something perceivable.
Loab gives me the exact same energy I get when I walk too close to a mannequin at a store, but taken to a new level
Dementia was really the first thing I thought about when seeing most AI art and seeing the art of those who have suffered with it. Maybe someday it could be used to help people.
It's also to some extent like asking someone to draw something from memory alone. Which is harder than it seems, even as an artist myself.
First word that came to mind, when Nex showed the "forgetting" sequence.
Same here! I’m curious about how can we use AI for more than shit and giggles and stealing peoples art, to actually helping people who suffer from neurological disorders for example.
The picture of Loab I believe the Ai pulled her likeness from an actress from Star Wars. Anakin Skywalkers mother.
The input wasn't 'Marlon Brando'.
It was just 'Brando'.
Which the AI seems to have interpreted as a combination of 'Brand' and 'logo'.
Which is, in my opinion, abstractly what the initial output looks like: A mock-up for logo design representing a brand.
Brilliant observation
That actually makes a lot of sense
Well done! Also the opposite of "propaganda" is surely "hopeless gore".
this reply needs more eyes on it
only one problem: the modifier that was meant to signify the opposite of the prompt
the AI tried to interpret the opposite of "Brando"
-which is obviously "Joestar"-
Loab is definitely going to be a horror character in a film
AI will in turn eventually figure this out and use it against us
It's gonna be a REALLY shitty film with a lot of jumpscares and a 7% fresh score on RottenTomatoes.
Will be a lame creepypasta, give it 10 years.
count on me
I was thinking the same thing.
Every image of Loab reminds me of a book called, "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark," I read when I was a kid. They made a movie about it not too long ago as well. It wasn't horrible.
Pause at 13:54. When I saw that, I immediately thought of Stephen Gammell's illustration of the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" story called "The Cat's Paw." I swear the AI used that image as a main source to generate the "woman" in this image.
Ssttind is the best. GAMMELLS ART IS amazing
Dude yesss!!! It looks exactly like those pictures, I knew it reminded me of something. I used to be traumatized by the story of that girl hitting her head on the lid of a chest and that's exactly what these pictures remind me of!
edit: it's "the bride"
Can confirm. Some of those illustrations are tattooed on my brain. Great book.
This is either ;
the next level of unexplainable : the best crepypasta known to date
The Loab stuff was all the "hah, thats cool" kind of creepy to me, but the comparison of the AI degradation to real Alzheimer's cases actually gave me chills
Creepier still if you assign intent (however unrealistic that may be). Imagine Loab as a post-modern self-portrait. The AI is trying to create a wholly original image, or taking AI output and attempting to decipher the input by making a negative, and converging on a similar result each time no matter how "different" it attempts to become. An imperfect, artificial intelligence accidentally mirrors itself by creating an imperfect, artificial visage of a human.
For me, the parallels between the AI and the human mind were more comforting, it was the disturbing loab images that the AI made up by itself, with unrelated data input, it turned those images disturbing by itself with alarming consistency
Oh I knew that was where this was going! Some of the Caretaker’s worker was used in the opening content warnings.
I remember back when the Google deep “dream” learning process first went mainstream, a lot of people were seeing similarities in how it functioned to how our minds work with psychedelics... visually, but also functionally in the way it would find patterns and then amplify & repeat those to the point where eventually it would find a new meaning (a potentially infinite amount of new meanings) based on the original concept it was presented with
@@kjp-sy8uf we create Ai by trying to turn a computer into a human brain, so of course it’s similar to human creations.
Several people are focused on Loab but few are focused on Grandma's pictures. They're incredible and bizarre. When they're shown in the order that they were, it's almost like a story. It's development and it keeps going and going. They're all too... uncanny
+1 - that moment with the circle of people dancing in some sort of ritual outside that almost looks like a short segment of video... so eerie. Would love a "making of" for these. no way this generated from a broad prompt without specific source image?
Does anyone know what prompts and AI software created Grandma pictures? I'd love to know more on how they were created. Looks like the scariest ritual
The 'Grandmas Pictures' were awesome
@@JasonKarken image to image or img2img stable diffusion. im using it for my videos
@@drekenproductions how do I search these photos? When I type it in I just get pictures of literal grandmas
the grandma's pictures video gave me the chills, it went from 0 to 100 very quick and when i saw the grandma at the end i literally gasphed, absolutely nightmare fuel
My interpretation of why AI can make such disturbing images so easily is because it lacks a human mind. Most of us tend to get repulsed by the grotesque and when making art i think we will unconsciously try to steer away from the extremes of it, even when we deliberately try to make unsettling art, our instincts will be there trying to pull us back, try to protect us from going too far and driving ourselves insane. Some people can deep dive into this uncanny valley, artists like hr giger. But even in the distortion and violation of the human form in giger's work, there was still some beauty in it, some restraint. AI does not have this restraint, and being naturaly something of extremes (1and -1, true and false), it can explore into depths that we as humans can't, not because we won't want to, but because our brains literally hold us back from doing it. Anyway this is a simplistic description of how i understand this
jesus christ that's terrifying
I like the way you think
I find that argument also fitting for demons. But that's another subject
This is such an interesting thought
Loab never existed until we said she did.
She is a monster of our own creative minds.
Is she a monster? Is the AI simply telling us how we, in our darkest moments, see ourselves and the world around us?
The AI isn't assigning any value or judgment to Loab, its simply presenting it. What I'm more curious to know is why it chose the features it did and why it is "attracted" to those features. Does the AI have an answer that would be considered reasonable by the average person or will the answer lie along the lines of familiarity with and choice to further express some specific algorithm or equation? We can _possibly_ then extrapolate whether or not AI is as capable of favouritism toward certain elements it encounters, whether or not is draws some "intimate" connexion betwixt what it presents and what it "considers/experiences/feels". If it is able to rationally state as well as any human can rationally state such connexions to its "self", there is a possibility it is no less a "living" thing than a human.
If it isn't able to do that, it could be evidence that we may not be simply a collection of tissue with a neurology capable of creating and destroying purposefully, that we are, in fact, a whole greater than the sum of our cells. I dare not venture further with such notions as I have no desire to present supposition on things many people have always believed. Belief is a choice everyone is free to make and which I avoid challenging.
additionally as the ai uses the internet to create more images, the more people talk about, share, and show loab online, the stronger the ai will latch onto the idea we have made of Loab
Yeah, that's literally ALL monsters, numbnuts.
You mean a Tulpa or a mind virus
@@amityislandchum most. Not all.
Recently I was thinking about how it’s been years since I’ve seen a horror movie that really scared me. It bummed me out because I miss the experience of watching something that leaves me truly and deeply unsettled. For whatever reason this video scared the shit out of me more than any movie ever has. Keep up the good work!
SAME SAME SAME, havent felt this way in a WHILE and now im here scared ashh
I had to turn my phone away as the images became too disturbing for me. My head goes all sorts of places like "what if the AI is scratching the surface to what hell and demons really look like"?
And grandma's pictures was eerie and horrifying I got goosebumps.
I shudder to think what the images Nexpo didn't share look like...
I had to turn the light on in my room
@@jocylouie same
This video made me physically uncomfortable 😅 but damn are his videos so good
Al's grotesque terrifying art is like those horrifying graphical illustrations of hell produced in the dark middle ages. 🖤👍🙂
Honestly it makes me think more of the world of Lovecraft
Beings so complex and horrifying that it drives the average man insane
@@thefatbob3710 I'm gonna be That Guy and point out that no Lovecraft protagonist ever actually went insane from being exposed to cosmic bullshit. They were all deeply traumatized and disturbed by the knowledge they recieved, and the perspective it granted. But they only ever appeared insane to "normal" people. If the normies only knew what the protagonist knew, they'd be terrified too.
...Except for that one time where the protagonist discovered he was Dutch, and immediately turned into a cannibal.
@@tbotalpha8133 Ahh ok I see yeah I think I would be fucking horrified too
@@tbotalpha8133 that's a fair reaction to being Dutch though
As someone said: for AI to recognize all the good, it has to remember all the evil.
The first thing I did on DALL-E was to input: "how DALL-E perceives its existence". It created an image of a giant robot in the form of a hand in space over earth. Never could recreate something similar with the same prompt.
That's wild
lmao diamonds' spaceships
My friend did ‘draw a self portrait’ with dall-e and it drew a giant brain made out nebulas and stars 😅
When you showed the AI that slowly forgot what a face looks like and then showed the self portraid of a victim of Alzheimers I completely froze. Something about that terrified me to the core in a completely different way and I can't exactly say what it was.
They're both vaguely human and yet inhuman at the same time.
That's probably your mind subconsciously recognizing that the thought patterns of the AI and itself are extremely similar, thus making the connection that on some level, the AI is in fact alive, or at least pretending to be. And that's a connection that can completely shatter a person's fundamental knowledge of consciousness. Because if a computer can so eerily resemble how the human mind works, what does that say about us?
As an infamous game once said: You are flesh automaton animated by neurotransmitters.
The fear of losing your concept of perception? Seems normal i.e. severely terrifying to me. Losing vitality to aging, and losing yourself...
Speaking of...
_Ego death_ is a terrifying thing to creep back from. It was from a concussion. (Not just ego dissolution. Complete ego death.) And I remember just enough to have some major PTSD from it - never mind the causative event itself.
@@darkbeetlebot AI is not _consciousness._ The computer program is actually doing something that, while quite laborious, is also quite simple. Those images are made from inputting the info and getting a resulting image, then inputting the info onto the new image, again for thousands of iterations. It's fantastic, but it's still nothing like sentience. (And fwiw, I'm on the robots' side when it comes to most movies. That was SA in "Blade Runner", yet nobody even relalises til I tell them, and they laugh. Sigh. Pop Culture Detective's "The Tragedy of Droids" touches on that "moral conundrum" that apparently exists, btw, if you have an opinion about whether movie-AI robots' sentience is "real" [and if it's "bad" to still treat them like machines despite it].)
The fact that we’re nothing more than more advanced data processing algorithms and that ourselves as free individuals is an illusion?
It’s not easy (as I’m older these days) for something “scary” to get tangled in my thoughts and create moments of dread/anxiety when it finds itself antagonizing my over-active imagination. Loab, (the images among the ones “transforming” at her segment’s end particularly) does this better than anything has in a LONG time. It’s so horrifying that I’ve gotta appreciate it in some respects. WOW…
i’m only 21. this is quite horrifying
I'm so glad someone feels the same as I do. Almost nothing genuinely terrifies me anymore but the concept of Loab and AI experiencing dementia legitimately made me experience terror
@@arxalier2956 Once the “transforming Loab” appeared on screen, I slowly kept leaning farther and farther away from my monitor. I practically couldn’t get far enough away from it, yet couldn’t look away completely. May seem a little melodramatic of me, but like yourself I too felt actual fear.
@@brumslybrumbino9516 It felt like she was going to Ringu out the screen
@@MissMadeleineSwann Funny you say that, since that movie terrified me as a kid and contributed to lots of late night paranoia when I was alone.
Im glad you made this video, cause i found AI art to be really disturbing, it's like an alternative world of ours beyond our understanding. As someone who gets hardly scared, i think i found a new thing that terrifies me. Now i wanna imagine how scary an AI generated horror movie or game would be.
I've watched horror content for a while now. I've seen real human corpses end up in ways I didn't think possible. These images made me recoil for the first time in a long while. I was leaning back on my chair, trying not to look at them for too long.
It seems like supercomposite tapped into the fears of a machine. And the fears of those with no feelings or emotions, vastly surpass those of humans.
Loab is absolutely fascinating as a concept; a character or being esentially created by an AI as a standin for or manifestation of "grotesque." She's like the AI's equivilent of an OC.
😂😂😂
It's more of a Persona thing
Babe new existentialist internet concept OC dropped 😊
This AI is terrible at making OC's then
@@zachsantos3686 Not really, if anything this is better than most OC's, not aesthetically mind you, however it is original to a degree and the characteristic of form medium infection is only done well in a few instances. At least it isn't another Sonic OC or fursuiter.
The word "crungus" sounds extremely similar to Krampus, a bavarian demon looking very much like his AI friend. While it is disturbing, I think it can be easily traced to people making spelling mistakes while looking into German Christmas folklore.
I'm pretty sure Loab has a similar story, just a bit more complicated.
Which makes her kinda more creepy tbh.
The word "crungus" sounds extremely similar to chungus, a fucking stupid looking bunny
I had the same thought
The thing is that that connection is easy for a human mind to make not a computer
Another person here in the comments said this, and after looking it up, I agree, that Loab is likely just distorted images of Lisa Loeb
I cant in all honestly take anything called "Crungus" seriously Im sorry XD
Loab just looks and acts like an average American without their morning coffee
This guy's intro gives me chills, I love it. He's one of the best video essay writers, next to Jacob Geller or Exurb1a I'd say, continue the content big man
The A.I. forgetting a human face is an eerily accurate visual metaphor for Alzheimer's or dementia. Each time they see the face, it's unrecognizable from the last time they saw it.
It makes theoretical sense since the process of deleting artificial neurons would naturally parallel a process which is damaging/killing human neurons, but it is initially surprising, and definitively creepy, that the machine's results are so near to the imagery created by a person going through the "real-life" equivalent.
The A.I. forgetting a human face is an eerily accurate visual metaphor for Alzheimer's or dementia. Each time they see the face, it's unrecognizable from the last time they saw it.
It's for legal reasons, as if an ai accidentally or intentionally copies someone's likeness it can get hazy legally.

This is the creepiest thing I think I've ever watched.
Those A.I manifestations are so uncanny and just feel like there was no human hand behind them, apart from the sources used to create them and the vague instructions given.
Every time I see some horror movie or scary game with things in it that I'm supposed to be disturbed or scared by, I'm usually not.
But this .. this is just terrifying.
I'm halfway through and man I can't even watch the rest which is rarely the case
Relax. It's a pattern-matching predictive algorithm working from text prompts.
And this video is basically a creepypasta.
@@TokinDope It's just an algorithm bro, don't get too excited.
I swear, if I find LOAB rule 34, I'm nuking the entire internet
if you look for it, i guarantee you’ll find it. the internet was a mistake 😅
I feel like the loab images are the most terrifying thing i've ever seen, and the fact that they're ai generated makes it even creepier
So fucking true.
Unholy even
I think that everything that reminds a body in decomposition state quickly becomes creepy. The AI ''forgetting how to render a face'' is a very similar process as a decomposing one. With that in mind, it became easier to tolerate such creepy stuff.
You got chills too?
Looks like people with dementia are literally decomposing past what their minds were capable enough to handle and we have to just observe it within ourselves and our loved ones someday.
We are spirits, forms of energy proxied by an even larger entity that is the energy hub and we all sent ourselves in to live a human experience, but even that has a time limit and we get pulled away from our body.
@@dividedstatesofamerica2520 Ok DividedStates Of America 👴
It's also interesting that it keeps the most important stuff for longer. Her facial structure was left longer than the rest of her because it's an important part of how the image recognition and generation learned to create a face.
In some ways that's really similar to how our brains work too.
Dead bodies carry diseases
I actually love the idea of Loab so much, she freaks me tf out though
I kind of want to paint her in abstract art, I feel like the horror elements in her design would translate well to that.
I want to make a gallery wall in hallway with her printed out. There is some comfort in being willingly disturbed.
The most disturbing implication is that it is conceptually possible to train an AI to excel at crafting cognito hazards that evoke extreme, potentially clinical, negative emotions.
Is cognito hazard really a real thing?
I mean sure such imagery could be used as a part of long run torture. And also under very specific circumstance like it being shown to already emotionally and mentally distressed person in some already dangerous situation it might get perhaps give some bad consequences.
But beyond those specific cases I just don't see still images causing that much harm just by being seen. Even if they feel super uncomfortable at the moment.
Tho with video and VR/AR those can get even more intense.
And if they get personalized to specific sensitivities of a person or even depict something related to them, for example faces of their loved ones, or even deepfakes, I could see this becoming intense. But now this is again on the level of personalized sensual stimuli torture.
wow, i havent been so truly disturbed by a video in a super long time. i never understood why some people find ai generated images disturbing, but these photos make me feel so helplessly dreadful. im hiding in the comments section like im 12 again listening to a creepypasta reading.
nexpo does such a good job at setting atmosphere in his videos, i cant get enough of it, but sometimes... it really strikes me down and reminds me i can still be absolutely and totally unnerved. amazing content. now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go puke from the anxiety these images gave me lol.
As someone who has experienced rather negative hallucinations under the influence of psychedelics, this is strikingly similar to the kinds of distortion in reality one may experience when looking at others faces, or sometimes even worse, being alone and having the images conjure out of nowhere.
That happened to me on mushrooms. My friend and I ate them and went to a club where people I think “were higher class”… we were having a funny trip. But as we walked around some peoples faces started looking “demonic” idk how to describe it. But we both saw it at the same time, looked at each other and I asked her, “do you see that”,, she said yes. And we got tf out of there. I think energy is real and some people have very bad energy.
Find Jesus Quick Demon. That is extremely demonic!
I had a similar thought, remembering a trip where my friend turned into a melting, greasy embryo, collapsing in on himself. Scary, unnerving, unsettling, horrifying. Loab has qualities reminiscent of these traits. Good analogy, angst. Thanks for the comment, as without it I wouldn't have clued in so quickly to where that feeling was coming from. Hugs
@@spicemilktea would more likely be that you and your friend react similarly to mushrooms. Occam’s razor, I guess.
I've thought of this happening to me and it's why I've refused to really try psychs yet. I have an interest in trying them, but I fear that if I'm still afraid of the possibility of having a bad trip, that mentality is going to cause the bad trip everytime. I've only tried half a shroom bar once n didnt get much out of it but a little buzzy feeling. It certainly helped my mindset about it a little, but I'm not fully there yet to try it again.
i find it so crazy that your videos always instill some kind of unsettling feeling in me, even though they're not meant to be entirely *scary*. they have just that right amount of unnerve that both pulls you in and makes you want to stay, and that makes you want to leave in hopes that you could forget the discomfort.
Atmosphere, bebe...
It's a kind of dark, creepy, disturbing, horrific, existential loneliness of the human condition that he's been able to tap into in his videos. I don't think anyone pulls off that particular atmosphere quite like Nexpo.
@@freddieoblivion6122 bebe
They are meant to be scary
main from the sound and songs used
12:23 aw hell naw granny done started a summoning ritual again 😭
Holy shit, theres always something about Ryan's videos that resonated with me, they are always the perfect amount of scary, it's addicting almost, This is some mad amazing content. Severely underrated fr.
As someone who has gotten into AI Generated art recently, I've initially found it funny when the AI tries generating faces for realistic faces. As it ends up looking like sillier doodles some one would do. But sometimes, you end up getting very unnerving results that make you just pause and question at what horrifying thing you're looking at. Even if you're typing something super specific, it ends up looking weird and off.
I'm guessing you didn't try out Midjourney? It is fantastic at making realistic faces!
Thats because the stuff youre using is not the same stuff that the pros are using. Youre getting AI with messed up face algorithms (among others, try creating porn, you cant or you have to get creative with your prompts). Theyre made that way for public usage, thats why the AI seemingly cant create realistic faces, but always distorted or otherwise fucked up. Its to prevent creating easy deep fakes etc, fake porn of people and so forth.
The true networks behind DALL-E, Midjourney etc have no problem creating realistic undistorted faces. There's even a website out there that creates brand new, ultra realistic faces with the push of button. Its been around for years. There's no prompt for it, its just a random face but it always looks like the real thing
The people behind the AI's get the real deal, 50% of their time is probably spent creating realistic deep fakes of hollywood bitches sucking massive triple pronged alien dongs and what not. While you get the pleb version
Wonder and midjourney make some very realistic and beautiful faces.
That's incredible. A true masterpiece. He is perfect. All is good. 👍 💯💀
ai generated art isnt art 💀💀
Loab is depressing alright, but Grandma's picture are especially interesting, with the story of a elderly grandmother keeping of course pictures of her grandchildren and her family, but also strange recounts like her time in the holocaust or being in a bizarre cult. It's really unnerving how this can be made.
I'm bored, wanna be friends dude
It's not if you understand how AI works.
This is like watching old people freak out about cellphone creepypastas.
1. If you take *any* creepypasta face and crossbreed it, it will continue to pop up many generations deep.
2. The AI associates the grandma prompt with horror alzheimers images. This makes sense as if you google it, you will find a satistical significants of the world alzheimers in the descriptions of images. And the AI associates alzheimers with creepypasta faces.
@@thegrandnil764 People just like to fantasize thinks as always. You made the obvious point of this entire thing.
@@fookinknucklehead6056 [Edit: Yikes! Sorry for the essay. I'm not trying to argue. I just waffle a lot.] I'm fine with OP's comment. But... You say "obvious", but you must not have seen all the kooky stuff people have been reckoning all over the comments (not this thread). None of it is "obvious" to the vast majority of commenters. It's silly and a bit sad that people think AI is not only more advanced than Hal900, but also, they're confusing "intelligence" (and not separating the computer programming definition from the human/anthropomorphic one) with "CONSCIOUSNESS", "sentience", and "self-awareness" (the latter of which isn't even technically found even in most animals). And it's frankly a bit vexing to me, so I see what that user is on about.
I get having some fun and getting into the video, and fwiw Nexpo knocked it out of the park with this one - as ever! - but it's getting tiresome and a bit sad to see all the comments express a total lack of understanding of what is "AI" and no grasp on machine learning, and the silly things that folks think it is (anthropomorphising computers and softwares and giving them FAR too much credit).
_Computerphile_ a few years ago explained the great-grandfather of these image generators, Google's "Deep Dream", very well. It's 15+min as I recall, but it's well worth it, cos they also explain how machine learning of images works, and also image creation from those same databases & software. (They also just did one on AI images, but I haven't seen it yet. But I will do! Note, they try not to be too technical to be over people's heads - mine included - but they can still be, & a bit dry.) For a simpler and more fun video on the subject of AI-generated images, though it doesn't explain in detail how it works, _Atomic Shrimp_ did a great one like last month iirc. For that one, note the numbers of iterations. (You don't just put in "-1" and get Loab devouring a teddy bear. It takes hundreds to thousands.) Though if you see the _Computerphile_ one, then see at least part of any of the "training" ones by _ctrl+shift+face_ to see a fraction of the work to input the images for the computer AI to "learn".
Also, just btw, I'm not trying to lecture you or anything, just give info for anyone with the same reaction as you, or who agrees with the more "sci-fi" idea of AI (as consciousness).
@@thegrandnil764 I think the Loab one can be explained very easily. It's because the AI "saw" the rosacea and read "disease". It's a computer; it doesn't know compassion. And it's looking for details to latch onto. (Think back to Computerphile's demonstration of the grassy textures of the field turning to dog fur.) Knowing that these images are made by entering and re-entering countless iterations of the same thing, go/e is the logical result. Rosacea becomes burns becomes severe injury becomes Lady L. Fwiw, I noticed one image had the red on her face looking more like glossy PVC strips (like fashion) so it's not just seeing "darkness". It's pulling from a database and these are thousands of iterations, not just "-1, press return" and "get Loab".
outstanding work my guy. the scaredest i’ve been in a hot minute, and it made me think - that’s the best kinda horror
I the ai for krungus got on a tangent with "krampus" and that's where it came from
This is SO much more interesting than I thought it would be. People talking about AI art is so saturated, nobody talking about anything interesting or unique or contributing anything to the discussion beyond "This thing exists! Look what happens when we enter the prompt 'hell!'"
Also, huge props for including subtitles. Hard of hearing people thank you.
Personally I don't even have hearing issues but it's just so much easier for me to concentrate on something if it's written, so yeah, great addition
I could see it being an excellent tool for animation. Imagine instead of thousands of artists toiling away to make pics for animation, instead you can have one program do it for you. This can be very powerful
I hate to be a fun ruiner, but Supercomposite has a fundamental misunderstanding about both how negative prompting and AI image generation in general works. To be fair, AI is a misnomer so misunderstandings are more than reasonable. Anyhow, negative prompting does not cause it generate the opposite of something. There is no machine ghost brain in your computer figuring out what an opposite of any possible word is. Negative prompting causes it to more likely to ignore images in it's database that share those negative tags when generating an image. Supercomposite has essentially removed all the peanuts from a bag of trailmix, fished out a raisin, and decided that the raisin was the conceptual opposite of a peanut created by a ghost in the machine.
This should be the top comment. When watching the video I thought about this as well. They never actually describe what the negative prompt does, nor do they attempt to show the results of using it several times on the same prompt. Its conspiracy theory tier thinking. Or better yet, its the line of reasoning used to create a very good spooky video, but this really should be considered fiction. There are enough buzzwords here to fool 90% of people. But the AI does not interpret brando as marlon brando and -1 as some form of opposite prompt. That's just an incorrect way of looking at it. The whole video is propped up on these initial claims which are just not true.
bump
@@MikeDBZ Well dang it. I hate facts and logic. Now I can't even watch this. It feels wrong now.
This needs to be much higher up, calling it opposite weighting is ambiguous but get the layman attempt to explain it.
I don't know about others, but i sometimes find myself not being able to fall asleep as disturbing and grotesque imagery flashes in my mind. It sometimes shifts into dreams, but rarely. I noticed similarity when those AI videos started popping up where images keep shifting, even morphing while maintaining one object. It has made me wonder of our collective conscience, maybe we are unknowingly gathering other people's thoughts and feelings. The imagery i see before sleep is the kind I've never seen before in media or real life. Its an amalgam. I've been wanting to depict them with art, but they're too abstract to put into paper. Im somehow glad AI is able to somewhat depict it, give me a clearer idea. It is like dreams, where you know someone or something is a certain thing, yet it changes and you only realize it when you are awake.
Finally someone who has the same experience
I experience this too but for me it’s always eyes looking back at me and morphing into other forms
I distinctly remember the first time this happened to me. I was in elementary school, in the front of the art room, looking to the back left of the classroom where the cabinets were, and every time my eyes shifted, I saw this screaming woman with her face melting off. I nearly started screaming. I couldn't close my eyes or it would get more vivid, so I had to wait it out. I still see her every now and then, but it's when I have intrusive thoughts. I'm surprised to hear other people experience this.
@@JZR946My screaming women was in my living room window at night about 6 feet from the ground, too high for a person to just be standing there. I just stared at her and began tearing up, but when I went to look around for other people, she disappeared. Apparently my brother also saw a person just outside his bedroom window once, but he's on the second floor of the house.
@@ryanthompson3737 that's really creepy, I also remember when I used to live in an old farmhouse as a kid, I would sometimes be woken up by an old woman whispering my name and leaning over the bed, but my door would be locked and none of my relatives would be visiting

I hate this comment format, but I agree
I don’t know why, but looking at pictures of loab fills me with a deep rooted terror. Something about the pictures genuinely scare me to my core. I’m pretty desensitized to horror, but for some reason, the cold, empty stare she gives is one of the most chilling things I’ve ever seen, especially her connection to gore and children, it’s terrifying
It's because her pictures are uncanny (like the uncanny valley). That is, images that are very close to human but not quite - I think that on an evolutionary level they are disturbing to us on a very visceral level, wikipedia has a good explanation of the uncanny valley and why it's so deeply disturbing. I find it very interesting.
It's because you are scared by Uncanny Valley.
Know about it learning about our fears can make us stronger.
@I for real
I don’t see what everyone else is seeing, this not scary to me. I like dark art and I like when it’s subtly creepy and unnerving. These pictures look like it’s trying too hard to be creepy.
@@user-ui4cu6fy4i opinions are like assholes everyone has them dude
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours, I’ve been completely hooked on this channel since! The Quality and disturbing nature of everything is incredible!
Loab feels similar to the Madonna. She is one of the most recreated and duplicated images in art history and follows a formula (colors of her robes, how she is seated, etc). Perhaps Loab is AI's Madonna. Super fascinating.
Great distraction from the hurricane! Thanks brother
Be safe man
Stay safe to everyone going through it rn ❤❤❤
I hope y’all are ok, hurricanes are serious ❤
where? im not experiencing one
Be safe!
I like the added touch of playing The Caretaker in the beginning as the parts of the ai’s neurons were being turned off, very clever! Amazing as always Nexpo!
It's from a video of an AI forgetting a face to "Everywhere at the End of Time."
Those are both examples of what terrifies me about getting older. I am not scared of dying one day. It's an inevitability, and you can't prevent it. All you can do is appreciate the time you have. What scares me is losing my ability to make cognizant thought. To spend my last days on earth in a haze of fear and confusion.
I've watched a few of this channel's videos, but for what ever reason this is by far the most unsettling thing I've ever seen. The images produced from the loab prompt genuinely make looking into any dark or unlit area impossible for me.
God damn! this is one of THE most, hands down best video editing in YT, The technique, transitions, scripts, research etc etc is I can say "VERY GOOD"! kudos to Nexpo for creating this vid I know as a video editor myself that this is not those type of videos that you can complete overnight. as a video editor such as myself we really do not watch the video for it's content but how the video is made, techniques and everything. Truly a peice of work, nicely done 👍
The creepiness that some A.I. inputs give you will haunt me. Personally, messing with MidJourney was a lot of fun and I created some spooky stuff... But also, it haunts me how fast we've grown with technology and it makes me wonder how all of this technology will be in 20 years from now. I'm a little scared to be honest. Fantastic video, I kinda want to try to find my own "Loab" creation.
I actually have Dall-e on my phone an every human face is basically melted and its weird how it happens.
@@Rat-n-Monkey_Productions I heard that’s done on purpose so people can’t manipulate the ai into showing inappropriate pictures of people with their face visible (?)
I've found mine. Try inputting 'todd Howard carving a bloody smile into scared employees face' into dezgo/dreamstudio on default settings. the ai likes to consistently make gore/ Todd posing with eldritch abominations like they are pals
Imagine AI made and trained for traumatising you with an image. Imagine pop ups on the shady ad links that would lead there "4 lolz". Imagine anti mass PTSD governments intervention. This timeline is only getting funnier ngl
To me, the scariest thing is the minds of those controlling the tech.
As humans, we are capable of soul achingly beautiful acts.
Alas, we are also capable of mind-numbing cruelty, evil, and depravity.
Hoping the trope of _good always wins out in the end_ runs true. 🤍
I think 2 main reasons AI art is creepy:
1) AI isn't good enough yet to accurately draw the human face, even inanimate objects, correctly. So when there is something wrong, it's offsetting because you know its wrong, but there are plenty of details, like the colors, shading, and textures, that are realistic, that it's uncanny valley territory.
2) Often people will go out of their way to create creepy stuff with AI, so it's being inadvertently trained to be creepy by default.
The Ai goes in a creepy direction quick and on its own. So many people have made the claim and in what little I have experimented I have noticed it too.
No, not really. A lot of newer and more well funded AI programs are able to draw faces and objects realistically.
And humans could never approach the degree of realism good AI can make.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme Okay AI alt lol
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme it's the hands they suck at, just like real amateur artists
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme i welcome you to hyper-realistic art, then.
The "Ai forgetting a face" hit WAY too close to home.
Because of my adhd I have severe memory problems. And I have mild face blindness.
The ai really conveyed the process of seeing a face, remembering barely any specifics like skintone, face shape, hair colour, proportions etc., to having a blur of unrecognizable traits that yoir brain uses as a substitute for a face in your mind.
Really fucking interesting
Wow I have these exact symptoms. Makes me sad that I won't remember my parents when they pass. I wonder often now if I will go into early senility
bro shut up lmao
the level of horror some of these images have is actually crazy. I haven't felt such things in a very very long time. This is the type of imagery that would've drove people absolutely insane 50 years ago. It's crazy. I wonder when we'll get the first AI made short in this style thats more coherent.
Those attic congregations are also quite scary.
This is the first thing in a LONG time that has genuinely scared the actual hell out of me. There's something unbelievably unsettling about the imagery of Loab that shows up in these ai generated pieces.
Like a ghost that never even existed
lol funny i was just thinking that this is not scary to me at all... but artists like beksinski and giger are some of my favs so maybe thats why... im desensitized to creepy shit like this
Dude this is all fake none of it is real. How about you look at the millions of senseless gore media which is ACTUALLY real? Now that's scary
@@kg7219 how is it not?
@@adrian-wz2zw sorry I'm not k g but if there's one thing I know about shit I don't understand it's that most of this shit looks like it does because the artist wants it to, I know nothing about whatever ai engine their using, but I'm willing to bet if you tell ai you want creepy shit, you're going to get creepy shit, oh and I also think this stuff is really neat, but most of that is because there's no jumpscares in this video, wow this is a long comment
I can't be the only one who feels a connection between creepy AI-generated pictures and staring into a mirror while tripping.
Bro I know exactly what you mean, it's an awfully odd feeling
Tripping on mushrooms to be exacly, it is the exacly same image lol
actually it's the same when you dream
Did you ever notice you can't really focus on things while dreaming? Because they are constantly changing.
Yep. The same. I feel into my own eyeball once.
It's a phenomenon called uncanny valley. Humans have a psychological tendency to get scared by everything that looks like a face but isn't quite a face.
That petscop ending was a nice surprise
It's wild to see an AI creepypasta of our own creation. Also very strange that she was able to persist through generations of combinations. Its crazy what AI art can do right now. also...loved the Petscop ending.
i get the feeling that the AI interpreted "Brando" as "brand" rather than Marlon, since the resulting image looks like the front of a product, complete with logo and little sticker (and a robot cares more about that than an actor, right?). i also must say that as someone who knows a bit about AI, art, and human psychology, we should be careful not to project any kind of sentience onto these programs. at the end of the day, WE are the ones assigning meaning and names and emotions to these images, they aren't coming from the AI itself. if it's more fun for you to believe that these image-generating AIs have some sinister reasoning, go ahead, but the main reason we find these pictures creepy is because of how perfectly it falls into the uncanny valley. we as human beings are hard-wired to analyze faces (which is why we find them in inanimate objects), and so when a computer who doesn't understand facial symmetry or anatomy attempts to make one, we will almost always see it as "wrong" or "off". anyway, it's important not to view AI as autonomous, because when this technology gets used for harmful things in the future, we are able to hold the users of these tools accountable rather than having them place all blame on the programs (like, is facial recognition AI racist? or was the AI just not exposed to enough images of non-white people because the programmers' implicit bias didn't see it as important?).
It was looking for the opposite of the word, tho (because of the -1 imput). So even if it did understand Brando as Brand, it wouldn't look anything like an actual product.
That’s very possible. I’ve seen similar interpretive errors in my own renders.
The creepiest thing to me is how eerily similar is the photo from "the girls who talks to AI" to Mona Lisa. Like, the pose, the expression, eyes and nose... I cannot unsee it.
wow, that is really scary. i didn't find it too unnerving until this was pointed out...
It actually makes a lot of sense, as Mona Lisa was essentially a human attempting to create AI-generated art before computers and AI were even a concept - It's art via math, rather than anything else. Thus... when computers generate images via, well, exactly that - Math - they tend to share MANY similarities.
Imagine 'Loab' becoming so infectious that every time you look at a face an AI made, Loab is there, looking back at you.
Thanks Nexpo for this beautiful video essay .Your work still remains amazing amd bewildering aswell as your poetic forms of wonder is astonishing .Please could you keep making videos .Its been a while since I visited the chanel and I do miss this theme of documentary videos .Please keep making these amazing vids .Sorry for not commenting on something more relaited to this topic ❤
We need to get Loab working, because she's a spookiest character than we've ever had.
Loab is the key to all this.
I would like to see generated image of her with the text "Finally, you found me...".
I just poo'd a little.
What is your profile picture?
In a way Junji Ito has done something similar in the form of Tomie, at least with the infectivity aspect of a character onto various media. Place Tomie anywhere and she'll corrupt it with herself.
Nexpo dude, we love the depth and details of your videos. You don't have to apologize. You make bad ass vids and also have a life other than yt. Great as always man.
Nexpo, you are nothing short of the greatest contribution ever made to 2020's RUclips. Thank you, deeply, for all you do.
In playing with AI art for the past few months..I've come to realize that it REALLY shines when it comes to horror. I've generated everything from nebulous universes, to cozy little kinkade-ish cabins with steampunk accents occupied by a family of octopuses. Nothing has come close to what I get when I go for anything unsettling, AI seriously knows how to draw up some top notch nightmare material.
It's been said before, but that's very unsettling 😬. Which AI have you been playing with for art?
Or it's good at finding actually chilling artworks and source images and mashing it together without credit.
It's also great drawing hentai and furry porn, there are some very high quality models trained specifically for that with Stable Diffusion.
Probably because it's easier to miss the mark than accurately represent something. If there's 1 way to draw a human face properly, then there are 10 ways to draw it wrong, and the human mind notices every subtle, grotesque mistake.
AI is a small altered version of a brain, which will create altered versions of art (as compared to what is normal for humans), which are in and of themselves uncanny, and uncanny leads to great horror
Topic aside, can I just say how absolutely fascinating the editing in this video is? Unlike a lot of other horror creators in the RUclips sphere Nexpo is using some of the most creative software work i've ever seen, weaved into a 20 minute video that essentially contains the material of a full length college thesis. Hats off to you Ryan, I'm genuinely impressed how much you improve with every video.
Exactly, it's really well done!
His editing is masterful 👍🏼
New to the channel but love the content. For some reason this one is too disturbing and terrifying for me to finish. Keep up the great work
Nexpo, you're one of the best. Thank you.
My thinking for why the AI denoted the opposite of that abstract landscape as Loab: the image was clean and crisp, Loab is dirty and organic shaped, the image had text and basic shapes, Loab is a more realistic image, the image was more ‘male’ with geometric lines and an industrial basis, Loab is more female in appearance, the picture has black and green, Loab has almost white skin and strong hints of red, the opposite colour to green. Just ideas but x) This was such a spooky video thanks sm for making it!!
that makes a lot of sense! i agree
How tf is an abstract landscape male 💀
@@thewizard1 you say this but genders have been assigned to inanimate objects since the beginning of time lmao
@@cez_is_typing that still doesnt answer how tf its male though, there is usually reasons why something is gendered, you just dont randomly assign one.
@Caleb OKAY Actually I think it's actually quite hard to figure out what an AI is doing beyond the very surface layers of it's program as it quickly becomes a massive, entangled mess of weights and calculations
This is the scariest video of yours I have seen so far. Something about the question "What is the opposite of _?", the journey through an AI forgetting what a face is and the whole concept of negative prompt weights in AI art fucks me up so bad. And I love it
And I love this comment.
Great approach on the subject, Nexpo. It shows that Art can benefit from AI, giving artists a new path for introspection as well as another vision of our societies. Computers are cold machine, for which a negative prompt has a meaning that escape sometimes our understanding, as human. We're not just flesh, but also souls in quest of thruth.
Bro out here rivaling the quality of any documentary I've ever seen. Really top notch work~
This was actually really sad because it immediately made me think of how brains that are injured/brains that suffer from dementia might perceive the world. And then you went and showed that artist who actually got Alzheimer's! How terrifying to think that he couldn't remember what constructed a face. I am so sorry for anyone dealing with that horrible disease.

Grandma's Pictures is such an awesome buildup. How the photographer has a journey to the house and takes pictures of the cult within, only to be greeted by grandma, which reveals that photographer was part of the family all along.
It reminds me a lot of Sarkic cults / cult of Nalka from SCP mythos, probably neo-sarkite branch as they use technology (camera).
Wtf are you talking about
U
its an scp group of interest, its a fictional thing
......... ok
You’ve always had some of the creepiest transition screen n stuff glad you put so much effort in your craft
One of your best videos IMO. They are all great BTW.
Just putting it out there, but Loab herself in her less 'corrupted' versions looks eerily similar to Dr. Ana María Polo, the host of Caso Cerrado, which essentially Latino Judge Judy. The picture of Loab in the tub as you described it, resembles pictures of Dr. Ana María Polo sitting in her desk.
It probably has nothing to do with it, but still a very fascinating coincidence.
That could very well be where the AI found its correlation within the prompts for some whatever reason.
That's probably where the AI stole some of the basis for the "art."
The bottom right of the original Loab set also reminds me of Ozzy Osbourne.
Seeing the Loab images had me checking over my shoulder every 5 mins out of pure fear ! I haven't felt that creeped out by any form of media in a very long time. The fact it's generated from machine learning, AI tech makes it the even more ominous and disturbing! Great video as always!
broo same i feel like crying
i keep adjusting my jacket because im scared someone is gonna poke me on the back of my neck or something 😭 and im in the middle of class too
BRO SAME
That's the thing, why it chooses to continue making weird and creepy outputs is so interesting, but in reality it's probably because of whatever input it receives as creepy as images are, it's just perception from the viewer
The funny part is that’s only the more mild ones since the worst of them had to be censored for being so terrible
WTF man. First of all, super creepy video. I was squinting pretty much the whole time. But also you cursed my RUclips account! The next video I watched had the same RUclips chapter titles as this video! It was completely unrelated and the chapters were titled “Prelude”, “The Creation of Loab” etc. Super creepy. Not sure how you managed that…
Woow! Truly incredible. Thank you for your work. Love your channel. Keep up the amazing work.
My heart LITERALLY stopped for 5 seconds straight after realizing the similarities between paintings for people with alzheimer's, and the ai slowly loosing inputs.

Loan became the internet’s first collaborative tulpa. Congrats guys, horrors beyond our human comprehension
I’m gonna lose my job because I cannot stop creating A.I. at home with Stable Diffusion, so disturbing. Thanks Nexpo
I think the main reason Loab is depicted amongst gore and grotesque scenes is because the AI is trying to embody death amongst other things due to the original progenitor of the first Loab was brought about by a negative filter of a city scape of thriving life. It brought down many to 1, and teeming life to leaking dripping bloody murder. Fascinating. It's certainly strong, compelling, and accurate to what the filter was looking for.
What?
Holy crap. You're right. It seems so obvious--it's right there embedded in what the artist was trying to do--and almost nobody saw it. I certainly didn't. It makes sense too. People have names. The computer created an isolated person due to the parameters of opposites, named her and then remembered her which allowed it to use her in all its other works. Or maybe that's just the computer's term for a single person who is isolated, hates the concept of human existence, etc. Now that the term is established, the computer does what it was designed to do--it retains and utilizes the information contained in the term.
I feel so much better about this whole thing now. You kinda walked into the room, flipped on the lights, and made us kids all turn off the scary movie and go to bed because we were freaking ourselves out.
Then again, now that particular A.I. has both a name and a face for the concept of the opposite of (given the violence, maybe even hatred of)human life en masse. The very idea that it could conceive of opposite images based on any negative emotional construct might be creepier than the images themselves.
It's because it saw the rosacea and read "disease". It's a computer; it doesn't know compassion. And it's looking for details to latch onto. Knowing that these images are made by entering and re-entering countless iterations of the same thing, go/e is the logical result. Rosacea becomes burns becomes severe injury becomes Lady L. Fwiw, I noticed one image had the red on her face looking more like glossy PVC strips (like fashion) so it's not just seeing "darkness".
Years ago, Computerphile explained Google's Deep Dream project really well, and it all adds up. He tells (and shows) how a computer told to "find dog" in a photo of a landscape (no dogs) reacts in this program: it strains to find something that _could_ be "dog", and then _make_ the resulting "dog" be "found", by manifesting it from what it can - the blades of grass becoming fur, the darker shadows becoming snouts, and with thousands of iterations, dogs soon blanket the landscape and turn everything into "dog" in a canophobic nightmare that could even give Garfield insomnia. ("I'm sorry, Garfield.")
It's fascinating, truly. But it's not mystical, nothing deeper than turning grass into fur. ...Not to be the wet blanket, here; I loved Nexpo's project. Absolutely fantastic - as ever. (The man can set a tone! And make it terrifying yet beautiful.) But AI isn't the sci-fi artist folks think it is. (And I think calling the folks who make these images "artists" is one heck of a stretch. Benoit Mandelbrot was a mathematician, not an artist. And he'd have claimed no differently.)
@@TheRealNova99 Yeah, you're completely offbase here lol. The computer (you mean model?) doesn't "remember" names, it just takes in input, hyperparameters, and then goes to work. Unless the model was being continually updated with the images (and I didn't get that impression, the person most likely just used the same model and instead fed the last generated image of Loab as the new input), it's not learning anything over time. It's like if you got a machine with a certain mold and had it stamp something, then feed its output back to input (heavily simplified but the gist is the same). The machine's mold doesn't change and after a while you'll start to get an idea of the overall shape of the mold based on how the product looks like. If you want to make any sort of conclusion, you can say that "Loab" gives a clue as to what the general "shape" of the training model looks like (which is much more terrifying imo).
All models have their own shape, in a sense artistic style, and you're bound to find patterns in its art. So you can sort of use Loab as an identification marker of this training model. It's not whatever fluff you were superimposing due to your ignorance of machine learning though...
@@yerpderp6800 Look up textual inversion. That's all it is.
12:37 - “Um; Grandma” We told you this would happen if you stopped taking your pill’s…….
Choosing to watch this while on an hour long drive in the middle of the night is a big mistake.
Yeah, no one ask the AI's anything about Skynet or the Reapers. Don't want them getting ideas now.
This has honestly been one of the most haunting but fascinating episodes so far. The idea that artificial minds can deteriorate in the same way as humans is deeply troubling but also humbling.
Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos. The editing quality makes everything 10x creepier.
Your productions are so well done
Wow, first video I have seen of you, this is amazing
