The neural network has improved the character models of retro games. Pac-Man has become like a monster from nightmares

Reddit user under the nickname ECarterLennon decided to see how the characters might look in remasters of popular games of yesteryear. To do this, he used Latent Diffusion LAION AI, a neural network that works on the same principle as DALL-E. It creates images based on the original image and a text description that the user enters. In this way managed to finalize 8 character models.

Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)

BJ Blaskowitz (Wolfenstein 3D)

Duke Nukem 3D

CJ (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas)

JC (Deus Ex)

Jimmy Hopkins (Bully)

Pac Man (Pac Man)

Ghost (Pac-Man)

After the author was accused that the images were allegedly not created by a neural network, he

showed sources: intermediate results of Pac-Man generation. It is easy to see that from the first set he chose option #7 for revision, and from the second - #1.
