It continues to arrest me how dreamlike AI imagery is. Much, much closer to the dreaming experience than any other media has ever accomplished.

I agree, these things look like how dreams feel

If we're living in a simulation maybe they're closer than we think lol

The disturbing stuff is so creepy.

Something deeply unsettling, staring literally into the abyss.

The text adventure story ones remind me of dreams, too, in the way they jump around and have an element of randomness but are still semi-coherent.

If you’ve ever taken shrooms or LSD it will be very familiar to you. Both are arising from endless connections between concepts being made and displayed in either computer imagery or closed eye visuals.

The video generator only creates video at 24x48 pixel resolution and 3 fps.

….what’s that got to do with the original comment?

It's "dreamlike" because it originally generates at such low resolution.

The low resolution isn't the only thing tho, it's also the morphing imagery

That probably comes from the temporal upscaling. As they said, the initial video is only 3fps, so they’re basically synthesising 7 frames for each actual frame given. It’s no wonder it’s going to morph. If it began with a higher temporal resolution (initial fps), then it would likely be much more coherent.

All tech start somewhere. This will improve over time.

Yeah, that may be an important point here actually. I'm reminded of how the imagery we are able to currently read from a live brain was about 12x12 last I checked, and dreams themselves are essentially upscaled interpretations of low resolution noise already.
