On the other hand, psychedelics give you perceptions similar to even early deepdream genai images.
On LSD, I was swimming in my friend’s pool (for six hours…) amazed at all the patterns on his pool tiles underwater. I couldn’t get enough. Every tile had a different sophisticated pattern.
The next day I went back to his place (sober) and commented on how cool his pool tiles were. He had nfi what I was talking about.
I walk out to the pool and sure enough it’s just a grid of small featureless white tiles. Upon closer inspection they have a slight grain to them. I guess my brain was connecting the dots on the grain and creating patterns.
It was quite a trip to be so wrong about reality.
Not really related to your claim I guess but I haven’t thought of this story in 10 years and don’t want to delete it.
