AI bro discovering imagination (piefedimages.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com)
 
Someone should study how diving into Al makes us absorb its capabilities. When I hit ~50k image prompts, I noticed something insane: Simply *thinking of* a prompt would cause images to "appear" in my mind. Hard to explain—It's like I "see" it MENTALLY without seeing it visually.

why did that convince you? if i imagine an apple on a table i am unable to tell i "see" it or if i "know" it based on all the properties i know it should have. like, is it a mental image or a description mapped into some sort of imagined space?

    For me it's a mental image, which is definitely distinct from a collection of descriptions. I don't really know how to describe it, but it feels like my head uses circuitry close to other visual circuitry while I'm focusing on this kind of mental image. Almost like the mental image is "injected" into hardware/software used for other visual processing.
