Why does Midjourney struggle so much with centaurs?
I’ve tried several times in the past year or so to generate a centaur. Why? Because I can’t. I’ve got no need for a centaur, but Midjourney won’t coöperate. I decided to search for it. This is the top of the results page. There is one centaur represented, #3, and there are a few others when I scroll down, but just look at the ratio – 1:18, 0.05%. Not stellar.
- What even is this monstrosity – a horse with an extra pair of arms to wield a bow and arrow?
- Clearly, just a mounted warrior.
- Centaur in battle.
- A Corgi riding a Corgi hybrid?
- A bull-thing?
- A warrior riding a seahorse?
- A skeletal doom horse?
- A pack-insect with a rider?
- A riding ram?
- My little pony-gazelle?
- Ripped Red Hulk Bojack?
- Gigantic Cerberus horse?
- Jason Momoa bloke holding a rose?
- Regular dude riding a regular horse.
- Rearing a horse with horns.
- Anthropomorphic horned-horse riding a buff unicorn.
- An ancient warrior riding a horse.
- A Minotaur.
Scrolling, there are more, but the ratio remains the same.
I was wrong. I scrolled several more pages and couldn’t find any more. Keep in mind that my search term was ‘centaur.’ It should have excluded everything else, but it was mostly everything else.
Before I quit, I decided to ask Dall-E and ChatGPT 4o to try. The AI also generated the compelling speech bubbles. Incroyable. 🤣
That’s enough for now. I’m glad I don’t actually need a centaur. smh
