    What weirds me out is that the things it has issues with when generating images/video are basically a list of things lucid dreamers check on to see if they’re awake or dreaming.

    1. Hands. Are your hands… Hands? Do they make sense?

    2. Written language. Does it look like normal written language?

    (3. Turn the lights off/4. Pinch your nose and breath through it) - these two not so much

    1. How did I get here? Where was I before this? Does the transition make sense?

    2. Mirrors. Are they accurate?

    3. Displays on digital devices. Do they look normal?

    4. Clocks. Digital and analog… Do they look like they’re telling time? Even if they do, look away and check again.

    (9. Physics, try to do something physically impossible, like poking your finger through your palm. 10. Do you recognize people/do they recognize you) - on two more that aren’t relevant.

    But still… It’s kinda remarkable.

    Also, Nvidia launched their earth 2 earth simulator recently. So, simulation theory confirmed, I guess.

      Also, check your cell phone. Despite how ubiquitous they are in our daily lives, I don’t think I’ve seen a single cell phone in my dreams. Or any other phone, for that matter.

      And now that I think about it, I’ve definitely had a dream of being in my living room where there’s a TV, but I don’t remember the TV actually being in the dream.

      Weird.
