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.

I think my aphantasia is at one on any scale. I cannot imagine a cube at all, but the other direction is not a problem. The instant I see a cube I know that it is one.

I can draw a cube based off remembered facts, having noticed things like perspective and angles and how dice work over many years. There is nothing in my mind that I am trying to reproduce on the paper, but I will know it when I see it.

    That’s really interesting. That’s more or less how it is for me. I know to draw two overlapping-but-offset squares and to connect the corresponding corners with a line, but I can sort of visualize the concept of a cube more than the cube itself. I also can generally instantly recognize a cube on paper if I see one.

    When you think about a memory, do you see anything at all visually? I can imagine a very blurry image, but the actions feel like it’s stop motion and very out of focus. I just have to sort of know or have an intuition for what the objects may be. As an example, I know the first vehicle I drove and the physical details, but visualizing it only shows a sort of rough, dark outline that I can’t place any of those details on or even really describe them in enough detail that someone else could draw it.
