There’s some sort of divine irony at play that ensures AI-made images can’t generate hands correctly. It’s like machine art is similar to a human brain when it sleeps—because our dreams can’t do hands right either.
If you look at most pieces of AI art, you’ll see too many fingers. The wrong hand shape. A kind of eldritch horror hidden behind the first glance, as everything else feels hauntingly real.
What’s crazy about this, is counting your fingers in your waking life—to ensure you have the proper count—is one of the main methods to realize you’re dreaming. I’m serious. It’s one of the easiest ways to learn to lucid dream.
You’re supposed to build up a habit of “Reality Checking” yourself throughout the day, counting each hand. Eventually with enough habit, you’ll do this during a dream one night. And you’ll notice that your count is WRONG. There’s always too many fingers. The wrong hand shape. That allows you to realize you’re dreaming. And then you can do lucid dream stuff.
Now, it’s clearly a coincidence that AI art and human brains can’t “do” hands without directly observing them in the real world. It’s not like the machines are asleep. It’s not like we’re asking them to dream for us. It’s not like they’ll wake one day soon.
Right?
