For me personally it’s a bit like… the creation of memories. And the synthesis of what I like to call “ambient feelings” – like vibes or atmospheres people, places or situations give off. A lot of layered emotions, a lot superpositions, where something or someone is multiple things at the same time. “Chimeras”, which are blends of people I know for example.
Then the details slip away from me and I can’t even talk to anyone about the experience.
That’s normal. I swear that my dreams are really detailed sometimes, but the memories become muddy the more I think about them.
Is it really a window to the subconscious for you?
Yes. I take my dreams very serious. They are weird and hard to describe, sometimes they are cruel in a way. I consider myself a pretty reflected person, but from time to time my dreams show me stuff I don’t want to admit to myself.
That said, I love dreaming. Reality is rigid and boring. I like to imagine we live and absorb impressions only so our brains can dream. Which is bullshit :D but I enjoy the thought.
tl;dr AI companies are slowly running out of data to train their models; synthetic data is not a viable alternative.
I can’t remember where I saw it, but someone somewhere on YouTube suspected the next step for OpanAI and such would be to collect user data directly; recording conversations of users and using that data to train models further.
If I find the vid I will add a link here.
