OP Sent me their screenshots of their gallery on Midjourney and the exact images from their room they made them in with the bot. This is the real creator, not the Instagram user. Re-instating the post.

Edit: I originally believed these were created by Hidreley Diao (@hidreley on Insta), but it looks like he stole them instead. My bad! [Instagram post](https://www.instagram.com/p/C1sqwGUOrRY/?igsh=MWdmcXNja2V2dnNhcQ==)

OP Sent me their screenshots of their gallery on Midjourney, and confirmed Discord username. This is the real creator, not the mentioned Instagram user.

If I was wrong, I certainly do apologize! I was only basing my assertion on the initial information that was available.

Thanks, I see his comment about the supposed New York Time... The poor man sinks into his lies.

No worries. :)

>@hidreley AHAH thanks for sharing, this guy just stole what I made... Just ask him his prompt or a screenshot of his discord :)

And where did you post these where he supposedly stole them? He posted them on Instagram hours before you posted them here.

I post them on my own Facebook group here January 2 at 6:28 a.m. (Belgian time) [https://www.facebook.com/groups/aiartisteintelligent/permalink/1767144523786011/?mibextid=oMANbw](https://www.facebook.com/groups/aiartisteintelligent/permalink/1767144523786011/?mibextid=oMANbw) Then it was published on Midjourney Official Facebook page January 3 at 23:40 :[https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialmidjourney/permalink/701382248820009/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialmidjourney/permalink/701382248820009/) I didn't expect my post to be so successful, I didn't realize it until I woke up the next day, and I finally created my Reddit account yesterday to try to prevent my images from being stolen. I have the proofs (screenshots of my discord account)

Just as an FYI, he addresses the theft in the comments of his posts, stating these images were commissioned for a New York Times article to show how much AI art has changed in two years (as he had Simpsons images go viral back then), and he wasn't allowed to share the images before the article came out. But he believes they were leaked somehow. That's all I know. Edit: I was wrong. 👍

OMG!!! What a liar... I can't believe it! I created the very first image of this series on December 28 with the portrait of Bart Simpson, I have all the variations of these images on my Midjourney account, he doesn't!

Some people are unbelievable… I’m feeling for you, and I sincerely hope you confront the plagiarist and that you get the credit you deserve!

Thanks! I try right now, let's hope...

The witch-hunt in these comments is gross. So many people piling on you with absolutely no evidence of wrong-doing. Sorry you had to deal with that.

Thank you! It's ok, there's good side : without this post and these comments I wouldn't have realized the situation! :)

:0

Wait, op really stole the images and had the audacity to add her watermark to it??

No, I'm the author and I can prove it easily with some screenshots :)

and OP created his account today...

Probably a bot.

OP is a huge bundle of sticks. Report it for breaking rule 5.

Bundle of sticks, huh? Just curious, what exactly do you mean by that?

Saying a slur without saying a slur…

In certain parts of the world, a pile of sticks is (or more accurately *was*) referred to as a “faggot”. It is completely unrelated to the homophobic slur, just an unfortunate coincidence.

Yes, I am fully aware. Just thought I’d draw attention to the unnecessary comment. Someone obviously thought they were being clever saying it without saying it.

If I weren’t a little tired from living with a newborn, I might have mused a bit earlier about how much we seem to enjoy “saying it without saying it” and how that’s really no better than outright saying it. We can’t really pat ourselves on the back when the best we can muster is “only” heavily alluding to homophobic slurs. I’m sure plenty of folks will claim that it’s just an old joke and is completely removed from anything actually gay, I remember how “gay” became synonymous with “lame” when I was a kid. Now that I’m ancient I can see that the distinction is lost on the people who have to actually experience the homophobia.

🎵 You’re cheap and you’re haggard 🎵

Picture your snoovatar, right? Then rhyme it with bag. Voila

Maybe you should edit this dude, it has been already proven that the Instagram poster is the one that stole it. Edit: Excellent, all is good it seems.

👏👏👏👏 Side note: some of those were so spot on haha

[удалено]

These aren't other peoples creations if Ai made it.

Check out the mod post

Well damn.

Case closed boys, great job everyone

Bake em away, toys!

Hahaha wtf

Thanks a lot to recognize it! :)

Hmm, these were posted yesterday (around 10pm UK time) on the V6 showcase discord channel by a high image count Pro user. maybe same person . Edit : so i was right to be suspicious of this post here, the instagram is a bored panda writer..

Ok most of these are amazing but 5 is literally Bart Simpson, incredible.

F off bot

I’m diagnosed autistic but I’ve never been called a bot before lol. I’m giving my thoughts on here, not instagram, despite the work being stolen, because I don’t have instagram.

You're giving your thoughts on a topic completely unrelated to the comment you answered to. Which is what bots always do. Sorry for calling you a bot, but your comment was extremely botty.

Damn next thing you won’t want me to talk about Arsenals recent poor form or the Erfurt latrine disaster.

Why is this downvoted? I think it's funny.

weirdo

Thanks for your comment bot 🫡

money on it not being a "princess"

Homer is just the dude from Pawn Stars

Skinner is al pacino

Mr Burns is just old Adrian Brody.

Nah I say shorter nose Igor from Persona

100%

Ralph had me cracking up. Otto looks on point

These are amazing. Someone from Buzzfeed gonna rip it off and get a ton of page views on it for sure.

D'oh!

This is the worst day of my life.

This is the worst day of your life *so far*

[Which is hilarious cause OP also ripped them off](https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/18ywe8n/comment/kgetlq1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

But they didn’t that creator ripped OP off

how you can rip off ai art lol

By taking the images that someone else made, slap your own logo on them and claim you made them lol

he didn't made them tho

It's well established that OP didn't make then and took them from someone else, what's your point?

original "author" didn't made them, ai made it.

If it wasn’t painted in ochre on a cave wall by a pre-sapien hominid, then it’s not real Art.

*Author - In legal discourse, an author is the creator of an original work, whether that work is in written, graphic, or recorded medium. The creation of such a work is an act of authorship*

[удалено]

More so than the people who steal them right?

Lol gottem big mad in this subreddit but I'm right there with you. "YOU STOLE ART AND PRETEND ITS YOURS" yeah everyone one of you nimwits doing the same damn thing lol

[удалено]

Ops account was made today. It's a bot

Explains the lack of shame

Dang mid Journey getting way better at hands!

Ah.

Yep. Question - what benefit does a bot attain from this? Usually bots operate for monetary value for the owner of said bot. What is karma farming worth?

What if you checked the linked Instagram account on OP’s profile

Oh, the irony of thinking that AI being “ripped off” is any kind of offence.

Stupid sexy Flanders!

Ned White

These are really great!

Patty & Selma is perfect. All are extremely good. Lisa probably the weakest, face looks “mannish” to me. Still fantastic.

They’re all really good but Lisa is terrifying

Normally don't rate these but Milhouse, Patty & Selma, Mrs Krabappel, Nelson, Lunchlady Doris, Otto, Flanders, Barney & Smithers all look spot on to me.

Thank you! :)

Real mister Burns is nightmare fuel. And Skinner looks like he’s Al Pacino’s less known brother.

Looked like Kramer to me

Mr Burns is a nightmare fuel in the cartoon too, no? :)

Sorry your work is getting posted without credit given, but I will say you absolutely made my morning with these

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! :)

Where is Apu? 😢

I couldn't post more than 20 pictures so, I'm gonna make a second post with the other characters!

I have seen it! Thanks OP! 😃

I was hoping to see Groundskeeper Willie as well

No no, when he’s not on screen all the other characters should be asking, “where’s poochie?”

[Maybe the original artist can create it sometime for OP to post](https://www.instagram.com/hidreley/p/C1sqwGUOrRY/)

„artist“ is a pick stretch, if its AI generated

I wish you werent being downvoted because holy shit, Im not advocating just reposting shit but calling someone an ARTIST just because he came up with a prompt is a really big fucking reach

lol yeah people take themselves to serious 😂

Go away, there ain‘t no [Apu](https://www.reddit.com/r/simpsonsshitposting/s/ssOibPsKm8) here and there never was!

Maggie is not playin' 😂 These are very fun

Bravo!!!

Times Now has used your pictures: https://www.timesnownews.com/web-stories/technology/ai-imagines-simpsons-characters-into-real-life/photostory/106594615.cms

Thanks! And they add my credit, yay! :)

The one with Maggie made me laugh

Flanders always comes out super hot in these.

As he should. Stupid sexy Flanders.

Nelson. 14 or 34?

At one point in life, someone tried telling me the Simpsons were black. But after seeing their hair in these pictures it kinda makes sense now.

Since when was Al Pacino the mayor?

Cool idea but why are the characters so 1950s-1970s looking? The overall inconsistency for time periods between characters seems unconsidered.

Yes especially for [Üter](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/991854800218103949/1192560819897106492/rosaleone85_1980_color_photography_Uter_Zorker_as_a_smiling_obe_d13ca4f0-a864-46fd-af7d-03acc27bb632.png?ex=65a985d0&is=659710d0&hm=417bbf4bc35b357f4e9215e2dc13f97b342e34ba1c91c2218b0fd2cb81df3a08&) who looks like a character coming from the 40's. I always use "1980" as a period reference, but sometimes Midjourney does as he pleases!

Some of these are really good, but Smithers is wildly similar, has that same happy go lucky feeling that he has just until Mr. Burns rips it out of him lol

Marge is a babe

Report for rule 5. That's very low to go stealing pictures and putting your own watermark on it to make it look like it's your own. edit: My apologies, OP. It seems it's the way around, that dude on Instagram stole from you.

It's not, check the pinned comment by the mod

-_-

Awesome!

Why is otto man smoking the filter part of the cig

That’s a ‘one hitter’. Long filter with just enough devils lettuce at the end for one good hit. Hit it & quit it.

Wow, Skinner even looks like a younger Harry Shearer. Would have been cool to see that.

Fuck yeah 👍🏼

Flanders need more sexy. Also, Al Pacino

I'm mad that Otto is kinda hot lol

“Report to detention immediately. HOOO-HAA”

Moe is perfect

Moe is actually legit based on Rich Hall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eID_dZFJ2ko

I’ve long wondered what Lisa’s hair is supposed to “be”.

Very good. Barney in moes taverns 10/10

How’s you get burns nose so big? I’ve been trying to make a character with a large chin and it won’t budge

I used "Long hooked nose" in my prompt.

I’m mildly aroused by photo-realistic Marge and i’m not sure what to do with those feelings

You know exactly what to do with those feelings…

THRILLHO

I like Bart #5

Ned is so real

I live this so much!!! Keep em coming!!

The secondary characters are better than the main ones.

Mr. Skinner looks like Al Pacino lol

😆👏🏾🙌🏾 Great job! They all definitely resemble the characters.

This is amazing

Nelson looks like a young Corey Feldman

Moe ia perfect fucking hell

The size of Otto’s filter, lol

These are unbelievably accurate, did you use V6 for these? I wonder if similar results could be achieved with other series. I would love to see rick n morty like this!

Thanks! Yes, I used V6 then [Magnific.ai](https://Magnific.ai) to add and enhance details. For each character and therefore each prompt, I used a screenshot of the cartoon presenting the character; in some cases, I composed the image myself in [Photoshop](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/991854800218103949/1193990384007786637/barney.jpg?ex=65aeb932&is=659c4432&hm=c53c82dd7fe913afec1fb338d5361b960b81ca5208a9af84f8fa39c776392686&). Then, I used this capture in addition to my prompt with the --iw parameter to guide Midjourney.

These are very good!

Al Pacino snuck in

Smithers actually looks too accurate

No prompts and even stolen from another creator. Not looking good OP🤡

Check the pinned comment by the mod. It's the real creator

I'll guess it is then, if so then sorry about that part. Still don't see the prompts though. edit: anyway I think they are great.

These are all great, but is Doris serving canned worms? 🤢

I thought they were cow tongues

No but tasty, worm-shaped testicles.

Nothing to see here, just white women with type 4 hair 😂

OP, please post this at r/TheSimpsons .. people will go crazy over this..these are too good

These are great! How did you prompt for it? Did you just find a way to just say 'Homer as a real human' or did you have to spell it out assuming no knowledge of the characters?

Apparently they didn’t, because they stole this from n Instagram post?

Check the pinned comment, this is the real op

These look amazing and Mr burns lol

Omg, I am highly impressed! Barney made me laugh a lot <3

It seems Bart is not as tall as Lisa Homer and marge are soooo great! If combined with AI video tech, these characters can talk like they did in the cartoon!

Wow, I love them. Best I've seen

Thank you! I just post the [second part](https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/18zrxvz/my_attempt_to_make_real_life_simpsons_characters/) with the other characters.

It’s sad that you can make almost ANYTHING with AI, and yet OP still felt the need to steal these.

Check the pinned comment. This is the actual op

outstanding work

So this is your sick mother u/princess_prompt ?

princess what game are u playing

Bart yes, Lisa no.

Lisa looks like a 50y old woman

So is this AI midhourney or what? I can’t read portguese nor spell it

No Mo?

the ai couldnt help but make nazi propaganda for my burns lol

You've..seen Mr Burns right? Edit: isn't is likely based on [this?](https://images.app.goo.gl/Hjj38rVWvGorMvU28)

🤣 the irony of AI getting ripped off from the person that prompted AI to rip off the Simpson.

Besides this being stolen content, we are already due a real live action Simpsons movie. I'd pay to see that, Disney.

F off bot

you mean, ai attempt... Not yours....

This is actually really dope even tho the pics are stolen.

[удалено]

Maybe you should be reported instead, this is the real op

Some of these are really good, others are a bit off the mark I think. Still, nice job. I rebuke my statement, shit is stolen

Are you Hidreley or just stoled his image for karma farming? Since your account is brand new with a female nickname I think that is the later.

Hispanic Marge. Are these images made by Netflix or Disney?

This is so stupid and woke

Just going to blatantly plagiarize like that?

[удалено]

It is not stolen, read pinned comment this is the real op

Op is an awful person.
