Personally, Iβm not a fan of Artbreeder portraits. Itβs impressive for an AI generated program but the way it works and was designed means a lot of portraits will end up look same-y because the source material is the same (unless you upload your own pictures and drawings and/or decide to go crazy with the sliders and mixesβ¦ which can result in some crazy, nightmare fuel results). I think most people just pick one closest to what they like and/or want, make a few small tweaks and call it day.
Another thing that bothers me is that everyone looks like a super-model. Itβs hard to explainβ¦ they look both beautiful and plain at the same time, likeβ¦ a computer generated image that wanted to emulate traits human find attractive but does so in a very boring, soulless way.
I donβt mind custom-made art (made by real people) but at the end of the day the point of a text game is to let our imagination run wild.
