The Implications of AI Recreating Images from Our Mind Is Frightening

- Quinzel 3y agoGood luck using AI to generate images from the brains of people who don’t have a “minds eye” AKA aphantasia
- anigbrowl 3y agoLots of people can't visualize things but have vivid dreams, it's a mental skill that's widely underdeveloped rather than a condition.
- viraptor 3y agoYou're making an assumption that those people don't create the visual model. But I don't think we've confirmed whether it's actually that or just not perceiving that model in a "fake visual" way.
- nyokodo 3y agoGiven how vague and unreliable my visual recollection is for most things I’d shudder to think of anyone using it for anything serious. This would be something that would have similar inaccuracy to witness testimony. Generally speaking, humans aren’t recording devices.
- karmakaze 3y ago> Say you witness a murder and you get a real good look at the suspect. In the future, will a police officer simply retrieve the image from your mind using brain waves and AI technology? > No more sketch artist impressions drawn from a description, but instead this could be a bona fide “real-life” image that your brain is transmitting into a hard copy. There's nothing frightening about the tech--only the misunderstanding of what it does--like the above. We perceive the presented image from a small number of samples and hallucinate an image in our minds, usually it's close enough for the intended purpose but many details are filled in arbitrarily. Any 'image' extracted from a mind is a hallucination that's coarsely fitted to the input, not anything of photographic nature. The problem with eyewitness inaccuracy isn't only in the interpretation of the image they see. The image they saw was already constructed with their current context and past experiences (aka biases).
