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.
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.
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.
As someone with aphantasia: I wish it did.
Maybe spending hours upon hours producing AI slop is the cure?
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).
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

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

I see ducks I want to hunt
I wouldn’t know, it’s extremely rare that I remembrer my dreams.
I almost never do either, and I am aphantasiac as well. I wonder if that is related.
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-

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.
