🧩 Remember when AI turned us all into superheroes ? I tried to build my AI avatar. It didn't work well... 👇

I am sure you remember how one year ago, everybody was doing those fancy profil pics.

As a Superman hero or queen of Coachella.

That was the "Lensa" app craze. 

I don't read so much about the app anymore but they exploited an interesting technique. 

Gen AI models are not "fixed". 🤖 They can continue learning and you can quite easily teach them new things called "concepts". 

For instance the concept of your face to generate yourself in whatever situation you can imagine.

It's called "LoRa" training. And all the needed code can be find online. 

So I decided to train a LoRa to craft my AI avatar machine 🤖 

As you can see, and despite some efforts, it didn't work. 

My dream avatar machine remained out of reach 😶

Instead, I was met with eerie uncanny distorted portraits of another me 🖌️ 

Weird experience. 

One thing is clear 💡 the youth of the technology and the randomness of AI outputs make every Gen AI project an exploration. 

Success is not guaranteed. But the journey is amazing.

So, let's keep exploring 🚀
