Meet Loab, the mysterious and unsettling figure born from AI-generated imagery that has captivated imaginations everywhere. Originally discovered by Sweden-based artist Steph Maj Swanson in 2022, Loab emerged through an AI technique called "negative prompt weights."
The haunting, devastated-looking figure became an unintentional product of the AI’s latent space—appearing consistently in gory, eerie images no matter how much distortion was applied. Dubbed the “first AI cryptid,” Loab became a viral phenomenon, embodying both the potential and the chilling unpredictability of AI art.
I brought Loab to life for halloween using an LED mask, AI-generated images, and a grim reaper costume, recreating her unsettling aesthetic in the real world.
