- The_rationalist 6y agoExcept brain's neural network don't work the same way
- ghaff 6y agoMy understanding (happy to be proven incorrect) is that's still a matter of disagreement. AFAIK, the idea of the brain having feature detectors of various kinds remains a matter of research as it has been for decades.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoYou don't need to answer the general question. The brain can't be reasonably modeled by this particular neural network.
- laretluval 6y agoIt's a dream created using information from many other scenes you saw of the person. The AI "dream" is based only on the single image.
- gdubs 6y agoI’m not an expert but my understanding of it is that our brains aren’t like computers. So, rather than storing precise memories, we probably have multiple memories sharing the same neural connections. Like, the memory of grandpa’s beard is probably mixed up with the memory of all sorts of beards. In that way, the artificial neural net seems similar (while at the same time vastly different).

- thotsBgone 6y agoEven people with aphantasia see as a result of a combination of bottom-up and top-down processing. Also note that aphantasia is not a condition which is confirmed to even exist.
- benmetzler 6y agoAs an aphant I’m pretty sure it exists. But just in case let me close my eyes and double-check...nope still nothing there. ;-).
- thotsBgone 6y agoI'm pretty sure that you either see the same thing as I do when you close your eyes, or you don't, and that it's very difficult to communicate about what "seeing" something in your mind actually means.
