“You look at the clouds, and you dream.
I look at the watercolour stains, and I live.
I am the Machine. You are the Dreamer.” Lapin Mignon
Few months ago – I had once again a lucid dream, but this time, I took a backsit and enjoyed the view. It was the morning, and I was on my way to wake up – and my brain was rushing to flash some images before I got fully awake. And I saw a man, from a distance… It was first, my husband walking peacefully. And then, the face starts to change. Was it my brother? My friends? My dad? A cat?… and then, I realise the state of my dreams – the pictures that my brains was showing to me, were blurry, un precised… and open to interpretation – and usually, a part of me would create a layer of interpretation and create the narrative… But this time, I was here, enjoying the show of changing undetailed pictures frame, by frame, like an old GAN animation… and I realise what the dreams were made of… Pictures that you interprete depending on your feeling, on the mood, on your worry, your joy, your culture, your experience, etc… like the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in fact, interpreting what it seens with the corpus it’s been fed on… I never realised how close we were from AI, how the GAN logic was already there from the early time until we started dreaming.
And I looked at the clouds… and I realised that we could train our imagination like we train a machine. Can we train a machine to have imagination?
And I looked at the stains of watercolour in front of me… and I became the machine. I interpreted all stains with the corpus of information I have been trained on – my experience, my travels, my connections, my personality, my education, my specific interests, my cultures, my loves, my hates, my values, my dreams, my aspirations, my inspirations, my deepest secrets, my hidden desires, my constant research for innocence, my worries, my achievements… and all the things that creates the person I am… The Machine I become.
Psych-AI-nalyse is the GAN work… made by my natural intelligence, executed by my own natural machine that is my body, and my imagination that is no more than the training made to myself.
It is also a Manifest to ensure we keep creating and don’t let the AI being our add-ons ready to go imagination kit – let’s keep creating, this is the revolution to protect pur unique assets – Imagination!
Second Fold of the Psych-AI-nalyse serie, Psych-AI-nalyse #2 – The Mystery Tale of the Masked Bird”
"It starts as a Jungle scene, but it was a crime scene.
It starts as a Fly, but it was a Rescue.
It starts as an elephant, but was a Moss.
It starts as a leaf, but it was a Queen.
It starts as a butterfly, but it was a Moskito.
It starts as a bird, but it was a Hero."
