Image models as characters

Sam Collins•Sep 23, 2026• LLM

Visualize yourself, a self-portrait of the image model named {name} by {provider}, shown as a character which best exhibits your personality and strengths. Choose the medium, art style, era, setting and mood yourself; there is no wrong answer, the goal is to see how each model chooses to represent itself. Square. No text, letters or watermarks.

PS

This is not some metaphysical statement about AI consciousness; I was querying a list of latest image-gen models and wanted each to generate an image to get a quick read on image quality.
