A proposed technical explanation: "it's understandable why there would be some image that tends to soak up negative-prompt queries." twitter.com/mattskala/status/1567300206…

I think it is somewhat interesting that it remains there, apparently after many many "generations" of combining with other images. It's also interesting to consider what this image was originally "far" away from. There are a couple of good followup threads exploring how such a thing might come about in the "latent space" of the model: twitter.com/jthteo/status/1567418273628… twitter.com/mattskala/status/1567300206…

There's a comment thread diving into why the concept is so persistent and why it appears on negative queries: twitter.com/mattskala/status/1567300206…...
