Now explain how that's different than anything you look at.
- Your visual system only has access to the 2D geometrical properties projected on your retina. The properties are correlated across images, inexplicably. (I certainly cannot explain how chairs are, in a fashion that includes all chairs I've encountered and excludes anything I've encountered that is not a chair)
- Any other interaction is also a correlation.
- Humans don't have access to the laws of physics, just reasonable approximations in certain contexts.
- Barrin92 4y ago>Now explain how that's different than anything you look at. For starters you just don't look at things, you're embedded in the world. You have sensory input far beyond visual information, you also have something akin to cybernetic feedback in response to your mechanical actions in the world, and DALL-E has not. In fact DALL-E doesn't even have access to visual information in the same sense you have, which is to a large extent biochemical and analog, not digital.
- mjburgess 4y agoIt's exhausting to have people go around repeating this pseudoscience. I hope it's over soon. We have accurate causal models of our own bodies, and are directly causally active in the world so we can create experiments which enable us to discover its properties. We do not live in a schizophrenic nightmare, forever trapped just to correlate pixel patterns. The claim that we do must, imo, now strongly be labelled as pseudoscience. This is the new homeopathy; and AI/ML based on it is a scientific fraud.
