Create anime girls. Doesn't anime have boys?

Well, "make.girls.moe" is the URL and name of the tool.

According to the technical report [1], they used character portraits from Getchu [2] for training data. A cursory glance shows that the overwhelming majority of the characters are female. As a result, the characters the tool generates are likely to appear female to our eyes.

After the code is open sourced, perhaps someone should try to create make.boys.moe using character portraits from otome games [3].

[2]: example from report (possibly NSFW?), http://www.getchu.com/soft.phtml?id=933144

[3]: games with a female protagonist and many male characters, https://vndb.org/g542

Maybe some of the girl programmers that Google hasn't hired should make a site that generates sexy anime boys?

Probably a matter of dataset.

You don't need much of an A.I. to create the ordinary high school student :)

Please don't propagate that sexist, binary view on gender. If you make the effort to criticise non-equal treatment, please always also include genderless, non-binary bigender or trigender, pangender, trans woman, trans man and any other-gendered.

It seems to be very easy for people who get the gender expression they need out of their assigned label and gender role to dismiss the importance of those things. What you're saying is about as smart as saying "people don't need glasses; I can see just fine."

After yesterday's Rick & Morty it might be world-ender as well...

No arrogance nor ignorance meant from my post - if inferred, I take it back.

The last line of the comment was aiming to bring my point across (which seems to have failed) - people do not need to label themselves as anything in order to be who they are.

Please re-read my post with a little more of a light heart - the sooner we all stop defining ourselves (and others) so seriously as members of tribes old and new, the sooner we can all speak to each other on a level playing field.

Yeah but 95% of HN are white heterosexual males so there you go
Re:Create Anime Characters with A.I. by hasenj on Monday August 14, 2017 @04:14AM (#15007233)
The remaining 10% are non-white but still heterosexual males.
Re:Create Anime Characters with A.I. by NTripleOne on Monday August 14, 2017 @04:52AM (#15007341)
10%...?

Shit, we're over capacity, this is against fire safety regulations!

Draw a girl, call it a boy.

True. Just change URL to make.traps.moe

Profit.
