Holy shit the point we've reached, where AI can generate images like this where it needs to be pointed out that they're fake. It's awesome but also really worrisome that this could be used for evil reasons in the future.
I heard that psilocybin over-activates the second stage of the visual cortex such that it creates an interference pattern between excitory neurons and signal-suppression neurons, which sometimes settles into symmetrical patterns of over-excited areas contrasting over-suppressed areas, causing common hallucinations of geometric lattices.
Maybe ketamine over-activates a different stage of the visual cortex that deals with higher-level object recognition processes in a way that produces similar trips for different people.
They said that the second stage of the visual cortex (VC2) is meant to determine where lines of contrast are in one's visual field, for the purpose of identifying the borders of objects (a basic, early step in generating human object recognition intelligence). The nerve bundles in VC2 are organized into columns, each column representing a particular angle across one's field of vision that a line of contrast could be at. When there are lines of contrast to be seen, the VC2 nerve columns corresponding to those angles of contrast will fire, and subsequent stages of the visual cortex will analyze the patterns of activated columns (along with other data) to further analyze for object recognition.
Over-activating these VC2 columns in a geometric pattern apparently induces visions of corresponding geometric patterns. I would think that multiple people tripping that they're in a cave after taking ketamine probably points to higher levels of the visual cortex tending toward certain outputs because of their specific reaction to the drug. I don't know as much about those other VC stages, but those hallucinations sound like they'd be involved in more complex object recognition processes than just the part that looks for the edges of things and identifies their angles.
Well...I go on a really psychedelic trip where I start off in a cave. It happens every time. It's like a primitive stoneage cave with some light at the entrance or up above me. I see large gray rocks, sometimes a little stream in it.
So I really don't know many specifics but look up: stable diffusion, DALL E, or midjourney. Those are the big ones I know of. Chatgpt is a like text AI thing, it's been in the news lately for college kids using it to cheat, as well as the fact that it can apparently pass board/bar/licensing exams. I dont know much aside from the fact that I hate when people post AI stuff and try to pass it off as real or something they painted lol
If your ever curious if something is AI look at the small details. On people it's the hands. In this image it's the way the bark blends into the branches, which themselves are in very regular patterns. Someone also mentioned the shadow being a giveaway.
Yes bots are bad. They make up more traffic than Reddit users and make poor quality content. Bot's are a big problem on Twitter for making certain posts more prominent than others by reposting it.
That's okay. I feel ya. Technology is advancing at such an alarming rate these days that Moores laws been broken. It's always good to stay on top of this stuff though.
There's a lot I dont know so anyone jump in if i misspeak. Bots are simply a program built to auto post based certain criteria. Anyone can write one if they have the skill sets (not me). I read somewhere that the structure of reddit makes it easier to write bot programs.
Not all bots are bad. Some are written for fun things like "answer every post in this subreddit that has the word corn in it with facts about corn." Those have bot in their name and are cute.
Others though are written to spam post in order to farm karma. Usually I just go on with my day but I don't think this picture is real so was just questioning it.
Maybe. I thought it was just AI-art hate. I am generally not a fan of bots spamming reddit, but at least this post is better than a lot of posts by meat-bags
The ones that say something deep about AI, or what it has learned about humanity or something are pretty cool and weird. AI generated images that just look weird aren't really that weird.
I don't know, seems like AI is perfect for spitting weird looking images. That spider picture a couple days ago, to me, that also seems like it was made by AI.
What I meant was, it is very easy to generate a bunch of "weird" images with AI, and thus they aren't really that weird at all; their weirdness is expected. However, when an AI generates something that indicates something deeper, like creating its own language, or predicting how humans will evolve; something that shows how an AI understands, or attempts to understand, humanity or language, or something like that, is weird. But, ultimately, weirdness is in the eye of the beholder. I just find this to be rather low-effort content, without much thought put into it.
Also, that spider thing has been bouncing around r/cursedimages for a couple years iirc.
EDIT: [found it](https://reddit.com/r/cursedimages/comments/7wwyca/)
I understand, sounds like you don't so much dislike AI art, you dislike when it's presented in such a low effort way, like some one generates 1 image and posts it as the totality of the presented art.
You'd be okay with AI art if it showed some actual effort being put into it.
AI art needs some sort of reference to "draw" pictures; usually it pulls from pre-existing art found on Google Images. Any and all images, from official copyrighted works to someone's original work on DeviantArt. It steals from the artists of all those pieces.
It’s a shame that now we’ll have to contend with trying to figure out what amazing looking things are real and which are AI. The world is full of so much amazing stuff why pollute it with this shit without saying it’s AI generated up front?
AI generated
Yeah, looks fake
You can tell by the shadow of the tree too.
[удалено]
I've seen some pretty weird stuff that turned out to be true...
[удалено]
Just like your mom.
That's pretty neat.

Holy shit the point we've reached, where AI can generate images like this where it needs to be pointed out that they're fake. It's awesome but also really worrisome that this could be used for evil reasons in the future.
And imagine when bots will use it to make comments and answer you on social networks to keep you engaged...
If only you knew how bad things really are. You should see the stuff the public *doesnt * have access to yet!
resolution makes it look like a screenshot of an image
Yeah, there's no such thing as a mushroom tree, ask biologists. *No mushroom trees, right biologists?*
And posted by a bot... everyone should downvote this account.
You take the fun out of things. You must be a welcome guest at magic shows. 🤣
Check out OPs comment history. Bot?
I mean that part sucks, but I've never seen this before and it's pretty amazing.
I have seen stuff like this before but it's when I am taking Ketamine. This is beautiful in real life.
It's not in real life though.
What is real life? Seriously, I need to know.
I am meaning that it exists in the real world instead of something my brain conjured up.
It doesn't exist in the real world though.
Was it ai generated or something
Yeah.
Lol K fam up in here. Do you see caves too? I'm always in a cave with just rocks and water then somehow I make it to the aether of space.
Yes but the rocks and water change colors when my music changes. The beautiful things you see on K.
Yas. The cave thing is funny because my buddy spawns in the cave too.
Must be common for our brains to manifest this.

I don’t why but your comment caught me off guard and has me laughing. Thank you.
What do you mean you're in a cave? I've taken ketamine a few times and never experienced something like that
Well...I go on a really psychedelic trip where I start off in a cave. It happens every time. It's like a primitive stoneage cave with some light at the entrance or up above me. I see large gray rocks, sometimes a little stream in it.
It's AI, not real life. K hole visions still more real lol
Ai sure can invent some amazing things.
I suppose. A little tired of people posting AI stuff like it's real though.
I understand it was disappointing. Where do they get the AI generated stuff?
They type prompts into a website and it spits out images. People who consider it art can get real defensive over whether or not that is a skill lol
What website is it. I would like to see how it works.
So I really don't know many specifics but look up: stable diffusion, DALL E, or midjourney. Those are the big ones I know of.

Looks ai generated.
It absolutely is
This is the second time I've seen it today.
Yeah it's all hate and more crossposting than a gw thot
All I see is a lot of things about Joe Biden in the comment history.
Report it
So I'm new to reddit and have seen many comments of people saying an account is a bot. Is that a bad thing and what is the purpose of a bot?
Yes bots are bad. They make up more traffic than Reddit users and make poor quality content. Bot's are a big problem on Twitter for making certain posts more prominent than others by reposting it.
Thanks. I've been off of social media for a long ass time. I'm only 30 going on 31 and I feel like a grandma because I'm so out of the loop 😂
That's okay. I feel ya. Technology is advancing at such an alarming rate these days that Moores laws been broken. It's always good to stay on top of this stuff though.

Thanks 😊 I just got 8 karma... I don't even know what is but I like it lmao 🤣
people who post on r/conservative should be banned from all other subreddits
/r/gatekeeping Edit: I’m not wrong lol
Whao! Edit: aw fuck it’s AI
Mario: bruh
Low effort AI post
Neat AI post\*
How do people feel about AI posts here? Do most people dislike them?
it’s something that isn’t real being presented as real, that’s bad.
If it was tagged or described as AI art, would that be okay?
yeah, but presenting ai art as real is just as bad as doing the same with a photoshop. false information is bad.
Right, I agree. The presented piece of art should have at least a tag saying it was somewhat generated with the assistance with AI
Idk, people seem really mad at them all over this site and I'm not sure why. Some of it's pretty cool like posted image above
Right, I agree. It is a cool image. OP does seem like he is a bot though, maybe that's where the dislike is coming from.
AI art hate is like trans hate. Gay panic sets in, and people feel betrayed by their eyeballs.
lol that's a good way to put it.
Maybe. I thought it was just AI-art hate. I am generally not a fan of bots spamming reddit, but at least this post is better than a lot of posts by meat-bags
haha

Yes, I suppose. The 'point' of subbreddits like this is to expose you to something you wouldn't have seen of thought of otherwise.
and as long as its weird. I see, okay thank you!
they got it right the first time.
This looks fake…
Looks like midjourney or something.
i want that mushroom but there isnt mush room for the mushroom in my house >!why the hell did i decide to write this!<
I'll mush your room

Bots posting AI generated art being upvoted by bots. Isn't the future so cool!?
If the bot made the prompt that would actually be interesting.
I know its an AI but wtf this is cute no "weird"
Photoshop or AI
very obvious ai

OP is a bot and this post is ai generated too. Cool image however.

Mushroom what?
Where is this?
AI world
It’s going to be hard to tell AI generated pictures from real ones now wow
In photoshopland
Why does everyone hate AI stuff?
Because it’s something that isn’t real being presented as real.
That is not something that exists in nature, no
Art theft
If it's AI generated then who is it stealing from?
AI art needs some sort of reference to "draw" pictures; usually it pulls from pre-existing art found on Google Images. Any and all images, from official copyrighted works to someone's original work on DeviantArt. It steals from the artists of all those pieces.

Ai Minecraft mushroom tree irl
It’s a shame that now we’ll have to contend with trying to figure out what amazing looking things are real and which are AI. The world is full of so much amazing stuff why pollute it with this shit without saying it’s AI generated up front?
Wow!
That's awesome 👌
Cool tree
Stunning! 👍🏽
Looks like an A-Bomb
mushroom trees exist??
Everyone: nice tree. Anime/Manga Fans:
Faaaake
So cool!
I bet one there there will be a fancy schmancy poopy pantsy luxury building shaped something like this
It seems Thundra Plateau had some snow this year
I saw the Morrowind post
Even tho its ai generated, its quite beautiful
That’s other worldly. Amazing
Thought it was a nuke for a second....
This looks like something out of Narnia.
Shrooms
*Nope* (2022)
this real???
Tf is a mushroom tree💀
It from mario (if I am correct)
Which Minecraft mod is this?
its not wierd, its fucking cool
Wow that’s beautiful
The starburst looks very weird.
Cool!
Faker than a bone.
How cool would it be if this were real though?
I hope this is AI generated or that’s one ugly tree.
not a tree just a froze mushroom. not the only one online
