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.

That's kind of wild. I can't visualise anything in my head. My internal monologue and thoughts are entirely symbolic and linguistic.

    Yeah, for some folks aphantasia comes with weakness/absence of other kinds of imagination, like audio or spatial, and for others it doesn't. I feel like I have a decent sense of audio imagination - I can "play back" a memory of a song, and my experience is like a ghost of hearing. It is as though there is a second set of ears somewhere in my head that doesn't "feel" the same as originally hearing it, but elements of the song I never really thought much of - maybe an audio glitch in the recording or a quirk of the voice or some non-instrument sound effect - also play back as just part of this "flat", single-layer stream.

    I never really thought much until now that I might have a duller audio imagination than others, because what I do have is at least closer to the experience of hearing than my spatial sense is to seeing.
