Tried training a small AI model on my own photos and got a weird surprise
I spent last weekend trying to teach a basic image generator to make pictures that look like my old film shots from a trip to Chicago. I fed it about 200 of my own scans, just using a free tool I found online. After a few hours, it started making images that were half my photos and half random stock images of skyscrapers I'd never seen. It learned my style but mixed in data from its base training in a way I didn't expect. Has anyone else had an AI blend your personal data with its pre-trained stuff like that? How do you stop it from adding things you didn't give it?

Oh wow, yeah I read something about that. It's called "catastrophic forgetting" or sometimes just data bleeding. The model tries to merge your new stuff with its old training data. I guess you'd need a way to totally overwrite its memory for that style, but idk how you do that with the free tools.
