What do Winchester people look like according to AI?

There's no doubt that AI technology is creeping into our everyday lives, it can write essays, type out speeches and even create images of everything and anything. 

Film editor Duncan Thomsen recently experimented with the Midjourney software to generate images of what the 'average' person looked like from 13 different UK counties.

AI has notoriously found people quite hard to create convincingly, with many cases of people having far more fingers than usual or faces looking a bit 'off'.

Inspired by this, we wanted to know what it would create when asked to visualise people from Winchester.

AI creations of Winchester people prove to be terrifying

The 'Text to Image' AI service on Canva was used to produce some of the images of what 'Winchester people' looked like.

From what was created, the AI seems to think people from the city are middle-aged or slightly older. 

Unfortunately, every single face was horrifically distorted.

In one, it even attempted to recreate the Cathedral with a few people enjoying the sunshine on the grass. 

The AI technology did, however, seem to get the Winchester setting correct. It placed the strange people in a quaint high street, full of historic buildings. 

Additionally, the service DeepAI.org produced an image of a group of people that was equally disturbing.

When asked to create 'Winchester people' it has produced an image of a group of people standing on a field. 

We're not really sure how this represents us, but the faces are certainly the worst. 

Conclusion?

We're going to be seeing these creepy faces in our nightmares for weeks. Thanks AI.
