I'm having a hard time telling if this is trolling or idiocy.
Like all good satire it is rooted in reality
As someone with aphantasia: I wish it did.
Maybe spending hours upon hours producing AI slop is the cure?
We found a cure for aphantasia everyone, if this is real it needs official studies because aphantasia is a real condition (the inability of imaginining things) that impacts people
I know a guy who has aphantasia and is using AI image generation to actually see what he’s thinking about. He explained that his imagination is more like an itemized list.
Imagination was discovered by John Imagine in 2023 when he tried to run a genAI prompt but forgot to turn on the computer
Pretty sure it was actually discovered by John Lennon in 1971 when he took some drugs but forgot to take some drugs.
You're actually both right, Lennon actually took so many drugs that he astral projected to the 2020s. He tried to use chat gpt while he was projecting into the future, but he didn't know what a computer was so he didn't turn it on
So, I heard of aphantasia (the lack of a 'mind's eye' or ability to visualize) after I noticed a pattern in my customers at the job shop: The creative types that needed something made that was out of their wheelhouse (the musician who wanted to design an accessory for their instrument, the sculptor who needed a water hose...thing for their studio, the carpenter who needed a duct attachment for his saw) I could describe what I was going to do in words to them and they got it.
The business school BMW driving golf shorts Karens who had an idea they wanted to "invent?" If I showed them a CAD model, it had to be correctly colored. The wood part had better be brown or it was outside their capacity to comprehend. Absolutely no ability to think abstractly. I wonder if this had been pounded out of them by whatever caused the rest of their personality. Or, if the inability to visualize just pipes people into business school.
It blows my mind that some people can't visualize things in their mind. I can see anything I'd like to in remarkable detail, and often explore old places or properties from my childhood when I'm trying to fall asleep. I would be kind of crushed if I suddenly couldn't.
It's blatant satire, doesn't pass the sniff test - it's too obvious. Funny tho!
