What messes with me is how many AI videos I’ve seen that are so similar to dreams. The hallucinations that AI produces are very similar to the ones our brains produce, and that makes me feel like more of a meat computer than usual.
What I’ve found even more fascinating is, particularly in earlier iterations of the technology, visual effects produced were remarkably similar to visual distortions people experience with certain drugs.
Easy to make a lot out of this where it’s not warranted, but at minimum it gives some interesting food for thought re: how visual processing works. Have seen people write about this, but am too dumb to actually understand.

I have thought the same thing for years now. I almost wish GenAI stayed as simple and shit.
Unrelated but kinda related, Symmetric Vision makes some wonderful psychedelic recreations, the most accurate by far.
King gizzard have a fantastic AI music video relating to a mushroom trip, its incredibly similar to intense hallucinations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njk2YAgNMnE
