lol it seems like me and skinnypupp have something in common.

anyone that is into oneironautics (to the ability to travel within a dream on a conscious basis), and has enough experience recording and exploring their dreams will immediately realise that AI generates these images through the same mechanism.

way back in the day when google deep mind or deep dream or whatever it was called was generating those psychedelic images that have a buncha recognizable shapes and patterns (buildings, or dogs or whatever)... the mechanism is the same.

it can start with static and once it sees some pattern it recognizes, it can keep refining that until it is whatever final form it has come to be.

in real life, things cannot morph, you can look at a box on the ground all you like and look away and look back, it will never change. it will never change even if you're scared or happy, your emotions do not affect it (unless you're schizo).

in a dream, things morph based on your perception. your emotions, your intent and your beliefs.

that box on the ground can become something terrorizing if you're naturally paranoid and perceive and assume danger around you all the time. it can become a bomb, or suddenly shuffle as if there were a monster underneath. it can even morph into something horrible.

in the dream things continually morph because there is no actual thing there, there is only you and your perception, emotions and intent. its a feedback loop.

with these AI generated images and films, we give it parameters which are solid, and then it keeps morphing things based on the rules we give it.

much like a lucid dream, one who is good at lucid dreaming, can give the unconscious parameters (a cool car, or a hot chick or whatever you desire), and it will eventually appear somehow.

the mechanism is also very similar to psychedelic visuals.

you can also google the Ganzfeld Effect... where people tape half pingpong balls over their eyes and listen to static sounds, and lay there. you'll start to hallucinate as your brain tries to pick up patterns from the "soft white static" u see. and also you'll hear hallucinations as well. this is also the exact same mechanism described above in dreams, AI, schizophrenia, and psychedelics.
