AI Is the Dream World

 I figured it out. AI is just the dream world made manifest in reality. 

Nothing is ever perfect in dreams. We know this. We don't care. We rationalize "it's a dream" and move on. AI is weird. If we notice, we say, "It's AI. It always gets a few minor details wrong." 

We all want to have good dreams. That's why we use AI for everything.

Almost everyone dreams. If they don't, we wonder what is wrong with them. AI has become commonplace. If someone says they don't use it, or they don't like AI stuff, we wonder what is wrong with them. AI is everywhere. How could you possibly avoid it?

Sometimes we have nightmares. Sometimes AI is so screwed up, so wrong, that we just can't look at it. We delete and try a different prompt.

Most dreams are simply because your brain is sorting through everything it has seen during the day. AI doesn't create anything new. It scans the Internet to make art from various images. 

You sometimes remember your dreams. AI remembers your searches.

The more it is used, the better AI becomes. If you start trying to control your dreams, you become a lucid dreamer who doesn't really rest during sleep. If you start editing AI, you spend hours trying to perfect something that isn't real, just to make people accept computer generated art as reality. Lucid dreaming, while fun to do, doesn't really change anything in real life. In lucid dreaming, you have no way to verify if what you saw is true, or just what you expected to see.

Dreams happen in our minds. AI happens in data centers that depletes resources. If you sleep too much, your body starts to degrade. 

Everybody wants to understand dreams. AI wants to understand your purchases in order to sell you more stuff. 

There's a reason why we forget dreams when we wake up. Algorithms track every single thing you do online and never forgets you.
