As someone with aphantasia: I wish it did.

[–] Klear@quokk.au 99 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Maybe spending hours upon hours producing AI slop is the cure?

[–] ivn@jlai.lu 54 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well I guess I will never be cured then.

Honestly if AI can cure aphantasia like this I’d consider it an actually good application (the ethics of training the AI notwithstanding).

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 4 days ago

I'm already cured.. I can visualize my AI gf np because it has all the wrong answers

Do you get the Tetris effect where after playing you dream of Tetris?

I wonder if this guy ai slopped the same thing

When I first got the game Factorio, for the first week, I was having full on hallucinations of the little conveyor belt arrows twisting and snaking all over my vision when I closed my eyes. Even when I blinked, id get a flash of some grotesque squirming abomination. Scared the shit outta me because I'd never experienced that before nor even heard of it. I was relieved when I learned it was a known thing but it was still distracting as all hell.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 days ago

I get that with most video games, so I’m pretty used to it

The effect from factorio was intense for me though. That game is something else

Happens to me a lot with video games. Apparently after Nintendo introduced Tetris to the United States, people were seeing blocks falling from the sky.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 4 days ago

I see ducks I want to hunt

[–] ivn@jlai.lu 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn't know, it's extremely rare that I remembrer my dreams.

[–] waterbird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I almost never do either, and I am aphantasiac as well. I wonder if that is related.

[–] bystander@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

I remember my dreams very vividly and I am also a l ucid dreamer where I can sometimes participate. I cannot see imagery in my mind when I'm awake.

It seems there are research hinting at this : https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2020/06/being--mind-blind--may-make-remembering--dreaming-and-imagining-

But for me it changed, there were times in my life when I remembered my dreams much more (but still not that much). I think my dream memory declined a lot when I started meditating a lot.
