Was thinking about this one the other day. Our own brains have a mechanism to tone down our perception in order for us to focus on things. Based on my own psychedelic experiences, heavy doses will break down this mechanism's barriers, making us see, hear, smell and taste "everything" coming in-bound. Since our brains have a hard time receiving so much data, it tries to associate familiar objects and make something recognizable out of the overflow. This is what seems to be happening with Google deep dream - hence the psychedelic look - and perhaps, once they figure out some sort of mechanism to tone down the "info-overload" from goggle's database, then a human-like recognition based intelligence will be born. It makes since to me... anyone else???
- yup, pattern recognition is a large part of creativity and perception obviouslyWeyland
- We actually don't "see" that much; most of our vision is parsed together by our brain based on previous knowledge. It's fuckin' crazy but truemonospaced
- We scan an area, and our vision is pieced together from little pieces, and memories, and biases, and all kinds of little functions of visual recognition.monospaced
- Isn't that what the program does, except it's memories, biases, pervious knowledge, etc. is everything that is connected to google?toemaas
- yeah... and aren't many of OUR memories, previous knowledge, etc, more and more connected with Google now too?monospaced
- @mono - very true. there's a great doc about this. gave an example of walking and what we actually see, its mainly based on memory and experience, v.small areasfadein11
- are actually seen. brain makes up nearly all of what we perceive. will try to find the documentary.fadein11
