It's not what AI knows, it's who AI knows

john_amend_allFollowing on from my attempt to get AI to generate the evil alternates of Isobel, Victoria and Zoe, I remembered I'd also had a request for the punk Clara fragment from Off the Map.
This turned out to be unexpectedly easy (if slightly unnerving), because Stable Diffusion 2.1 and its derivatives know what a "Jenna-Louise Coleman" is. It literally was a matter of entering a prompt like Jenna-Louise Coleman driving a jeep, studded leather jacket, punk, shaved head, buzzcut and then sitting back while the AI did its work.
Of course, if it's that easy to produce one Clara fragment, it shouldn't be much harder to produce others. Almost too easy...
(OK, I had to use inpainting on the last one to redraw the hands until they came up with the right number of fingers).
The technique appears to work on most NuWho actors that I've tried, either with their own names or the characters that they play. Sadly not for our favourites of 1960s cardboard TV, though. In one hilarious case, I tried 'Victoria Waterfield' as a prompt and the AI coughed up... a sports field with water in it.
