AI generated images tend to look like something out of a dream. There's a reason for this.

The way they are generated boils down to training a neural net to recognize features, by showing it many images and telling it what's in them, and then reversing inputs and outputs. This effectively tells it to show us examples of images, which would match the features we ask for, e.g. "waterfall" and "green hills", with some random noise to get different ones.

This is almost certainly exactly how dreams, and imagination in general, works in human brains: Neural pathways, built based on learned associations from our perception, running in reverse, with some noise in the wire.

In a very real sense, these images are digital dreams.

You're just pining for the fjords!

Reminds me of the Scottish Moors.
