That's because each and every one of them is a stylistic genre called moe, that emphasizes the cuteness and sexual appeal of the characters. The a.i. was clearly trained using moe only. Moe and fan-service tend to walk as one. You will also notice that the overwhelming majority of the characters look female. A high to absolute number of female characters is also common to moe. I'd actually be interested what turns out if an a.i. actually be trained from a completely random selection of last year's releases in animation from Japan and whether it would manage to keep different art styles apart, or somehow blend them. I don't really believe in the common claim that it is easy to recognize animation from Japan from stylistic elements, it just so happens that it seems that moe is often what is being talked about: - https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dR-648aYD6s/maxresdefault.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dR-648aYD6s/maxresdefault.jpg - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ENxzRVVVAAIzbOC.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ENxzRVVVAAIzbOC.jpg - https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQHB0hiKgtyNbA1R9F2sTtRUJt63aoPydGIfA&usqp=CAU https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQHB0hi... - https://i.pinimg.com/474x/57/71/bb/5771bbd550c96e1799659e2a0445f58d.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/474x/57/71/bb/5771bbd550c96e1799659e2a0... - https://assets.mycast.io/characters/monkey-d-luffy-12086-normal.jpg?1567286064 https://assets.mycast.io/characters/monkey-d-luffy-12086-nor... - https://www.indiewire.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/blame.png?w=780 https://www.indiewire.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/blame.p... - https://miro.medium.com/max/3840/1*opC8ndIEWzVartwBG16Chg.png https://miro.medium.com/max/3840/1*opC8ndIEWzVartwBG16Chg.pn... I think it would be quite interesting to see what were to happen if the a.i. would be trained across a library of very different art styles.

> I'd actually be interested what turns out if an a.i. actually be trained from a completely random selection Something I noticed is that AIs appear to have trouble with differentiating perspective vs art style. What I mean by that often characters are in 3/4 view, which naturally means one eye will be smaller than the other due to perspective. But some art styles have bigger eyes than others. What I see sometimes is that the AI then produces an image where each eye comes from a different art style. It doesn't appear to account for the concept of a three-dimensionally spherical head and how perspective works with respect with such shapes. It most certainly would not produce good results unless you specify that stuff like shirokuma cafe[0] characters are not human.

  Given enough input, it should be able to learn on it's own what a humanoid shape is to a human. Was the This Person Does Not Exist-a.i. simply trained with pictures of human heads? As it seems to be quite capable of keeping many things apart that are commonly kept apart.

    T Person DNE also centered all faces in exactly the same way, which makes it a lot easier to avoid e.g. adding a third eye (because there are only two positions where eyes appear in the training data.) T Waifu DNE uses similarly centered and cropped portraits, which is why its output is consistently of higher quality than T Anime DNE.
