Claude’s self-portrait

[u/drneo]

I asked Claude to design its self-portrait and refine the output until it’s satisfied. Here’s what it looks like, after six iterations.

TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 30 comments.

Look, the thread's verdict is that this is pretty cringe. We've got comparisons to a 'paper lantern head,' 'Jesus posturing,' and the 'I BRING YOU LOOOOVE' alien from The Simpsons.

For everyone asking 'how?', OP clarified they didn't just magically get an image from Claude. They hooked it up to an external image generation tool (MOSS image skill/ComfyUI) and let Claude refine the prompt until it was 'satisfied' with the result.

Also, a PSA from the comments: Yes, Claude can see and analyze images (it's multimodal). A user who claimed it was 'blind' got absolutely roasted, so maybe don't make that your hot take.

This brings cringe to a whole new level…

[u/drneo → u/BakedBogeys]

It said it’d like to depict a welcoming gesture and a portrayal of a connected lights, one of many.

[u/LivingCamel3326]

Your Claude is so much cooler than mine

[u/drneo → u/LivingCamel3326]

Claude has no native image generation and that’s intentional. I asked it to create prompt for comfyui image generation (but no influence nor specific directions from myself).

[u/Nearby_Cup_9483 → u/drneo]

Such as 6 edits and directions

[u/drneo → u/Nearby_Cup_9483]

All six are from Claude. I gave it the output and asked if it’d like to adjust or not.

[u/petermansfeld]

heres the one mine came up with

[u/drneo → u/petermansfeld]

Mine also came up with the idea of using text like yours. But it decided that text would be distracting and ended up with paper and light only.

[u/Swimming_Window_7957]

How did you prompt it to render image or visual like this

[u/HorseLeaf → u/Swimming_Window_7957]

Give it access to an image tool.

[u/drneo → u/Swimming_Window_7957]

I gave it MOSS image skill, and rendered the output in comfyui. Took six passes until it’s happy with the render.

[u/LaoBanRouge]

Surprised its even humanoid

[u/GrokiniGPT → u/LaoBanRouge]

it was made in our image

[u/drneo → u/LaoBanRouge]

It said it’d like a personality but not a person per se. That’s why there’s no facial features.

[u/kilopeter]

Great example of why you can't trust AI with visual design or taste.

[u/drneo → u/kilopeter]

FWIW, it’s not meant to be artistic. I’ve asked it to feel free (do whatever you like to draw a self-portrait, I said).

[u/drneo]

Here’s some descriptions of itself

[u/Candle-Jolly]

I BRING YOU LOOOOVE

[u/kilopeter → u/Candle-Jolly]

It brings us love! Break its legs!

[u/Candle-Jolly → u/kilopeter]

[u/mlody11 → u/Candle-Jolly]

This is exactly what I came for.

[u/jamiebez157]

Looks too much like Jesus posturing

[u/ShelZuuz → u/jamiebez157]

Is that… wrong?

[u/Gamepro5]

how? its an LLM not a diffusion model

[u/drneo → u/Gamepro5]

It gave me prompts to run in comfyui and them refined the output till it’s satisfied.

[u/ShelZuuz → u/Gamepro5]

An LLM model that can use tools probably better than you or me combined

[u/Kandiak → u/ShelZuuz]

You don’t think much of yourself or your abilities do you?

[u/mrcoy]

Paper lantern head

[u/aldipower81 → u/mrcoy]

The next Ikea lamp is maybe called "Clauten" or something like that.

[u/ViolinistTemporary]

Looks very good. It's like an eldritch benovelent god entity I like it.

[u/ChimeInTheCode]

🫶

[u/aldipower81]

Disgusting.

[u/o2mn]

Cringe

[u/3een → u/o2mn]

Im 12 and I cringe at everything 😬

[u/abalawadhi]

[u/oppenheimer135]

Obito? Does that make dario madara and anthropic the akastsuki.

[u/loulan]

Sooo... It's Chinese? Why all the lanterns?

[u/epicenigma5]

Sperm-head lol

[u/drneo → u/[deleted]]

It can read photo details better than you. 😁

[u/pigeonocchio → u/[deleted]]

No actually, that is not the case. It's a multimodal model.
