I was looking at r/LSD and made the realization that they freak out about normal water bottles, an AI generated video would obliterate them
Statistically generated images aren’t special. Psychadelic enhancement videos have been on the internet forever.
This sort of post tells me you haven’t done LSD. You refer to them in the third person, but also the fact that you are not likely to focus on a screen if at all while on LSD.
That’s just you and a lot of people. I know more than one person who spent an entire trip behind a screen.
I think a lot of them would be bad trip material. This one would probably be good though, especially on a big screen like a projector
No they’re not
There is no substitute for nature, thats where the best images come from, esp. when going on a little trip.
Wood grain is my favorite to zone into
It is only a mirror image of the person making the prompt through the filter of alignment
Literally anything you focus on will be amazing when you’re on good lsd. Any tv show or cartoon (news, movie, sport, adverts, whatever) will be entrancing and you’ll interpret things visually in crazy ways.
I spent an hour or two staring at a pattern in a rug and listening to my dog breathe beside me once, or watching an ice cube melt on a table, or colouring in my hand with felt tip pen.
The Brave Little Toaster was intense!
Always is.
First when deep learning was becoming popular there was a project called Deep Dream that was kinda psychedelic. Their training model was heavily biased towards dogs and frogs but I wasted a few minutes looking at them and trying to figure what even was pictured.

Any image can mess with you if you are in the right mindset / point of your trip. AI isn’t going to make anything more “obliteration” worthy than the real world already does.
If anything it would be less appealing because it isn’t real, part of the appeal with something like a normal water bottle is the wonder of the natural world and the way your mind is interpreting it at that point in time.
