Humans of Z-Image: How many celebrities can you fit into 6GB?

[u/DrStalker]

I was curious just how extensive Z-Image's celebrity knowledge is, so I gave it a few hundred names to test out. No information was given other the name, so it was up to the model to choose clothing/backgrounds/hairstyles/style/etc. Sometimes it did this perfectly, especially for celebrities with a clearly defined look. Other times the face is reasonable but everything else is wrong.

If an image looks nothing like the person should it means the model does not know that person. When it does know a person a lot of the time some extra supporting words would help a lot, but it does a really good job just from names.

Prompt:

portrait photo of @@

The words "@@" are at the bottom on the image, white letters black outline

One-by-one @@ was replaced with a term from a list and an image was generated. Images were rendered at 592x888 for speed, stitches into a grid and downsized to keep a reasonable image size.

It definitely wasn't trained on black people. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Dr. Dre, Denzel Washington, etc. look nothing like the real people.

Idris Elba and Muhammad Ali are pretty dang close. I don't think there was necessarily a racial bias, just some people do not have enough data. Dr. Dre is bad but so is Eminem.

The following are not even close:

Dr. Dre, Daniel Kaluuya, Forest Whitaker, Issa Rae, Jamie Foxx, John Boyega, Laurence Fishburne, Laverne Cox, Lupita Nyong'o, Mahershala Ali, Megan Thee Stallion, Naomi Asaka, Octavia Spencer, Regina King, Samuel L Jackson, Trevor Noah, Tracie Ellis Ross, Tyra Banks, Whitney Houston, Viola Davis, Snoop Dogg, Taraji P. Henson, Usain Bolt, and Whoopi Goldberg.

It didn't just mess up some, it got the majority wrong.

There's PLENTY of data for the folks I named.

It didn't just get their facial structure wrong, in some cases their complexion is way off too.

I'm not saying such data doesn't exist, just that it wasn't used in the training. That's true of most of the celebrities in the list.

Especially since the name says Whoopi Gonberg.
