In the months since, Midjourney has implemented software updates that have greatly enhanced its ability to transform real faces into AI-generated art -- and made it a popular social media plaything for its viral fakes. People wishing to make one need only go to the chat service Discord and type in a prompt, alongside the word "/imagine," then describe what they want the AI to create. Within seconds, the tool produces an image that the requester can download, modify and share as they see fit.

The Zipf's law states that in many settings (that we are going to explore), the volume or size of entities is inversely proportional to a power s (s 0) of their ranking. This has important implications in predictive modeling, discussed below. The processes that create this type of dynamic are not well understood. It is the purpose of this article to explain the underlying mechanics. The traditional example for the Zipf distribution is the distribution of Internet domains, ranked by traffic.
