/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Hey there, y'all! I have a few questions about NovelAI. I've deduced that Midjourney's orignal niji・journey (Niji 4) was heavily built upon whatever was in that NAI leak back in 2022... but perhaps using an additional Danbooru scrape not in the original leak, sometime afterwards? Niji 4 knows Hyakumantenbara Salome, and I heard that the original NAI leak didn't have her in it.

Flash forward to now! I was under the impression that they never updated the training data past the original build, but out of curiosity I tried prompting for Nerissa Ravencroft. Niji 4 doesn't know her of course, but Niji 6 kinda... does? She's super off model, but too close to just be coincidence.

I've noticed a lot of you guys prompting for Advent members in NovelAI. When did they get added there? Or are you using LORAs for them? I'm trying to pinpoint where NJ's training data cuts off and if it aligns with NovelAI's updates. I'm assuming Niji 6 must be using a mid-2023 scrape, and NovelAI is using a more recent one, because your Advent stuff looks way better!

Here's a comparison of the prompt "Nerissa Ravencroft" in Niji 4 vs Niji 6. (Niji 5 doesn't know VTuber names, for whatever reason.)
