If you ask me to draw anything I can’t draw anything good, I don’t know which color is best to make them look realistic, etc.
But if I think of something then the pic pop instantly with perfect colors/physic/background.
If I think about ‘Shrek having a lightsaber fight with Dart Vader’ then it just pop up instantly, and I’m sure I never see them anyway before.
Seeing AI these days able to generate these kind of things make me wonder how our brain works in this matter.
Thank you.

We don’t fully know how the brain works, but studies show that when you imagine an image the same parts of the brain light up as when you see with your eyes. The brain seems to handle objects individually as well, so it’s not just seeing a complete image it’s already splitting what you see up into the individual objects you recognize.
So it’s likely your brain is able to access individual things it’s seen before and tell itself that those things are arranged in a different scene, even if you’ve never seen that scene before.
Actually really similarly to ai.. in some ways at least.
You have seen Shrek, Vader and lightsaber. You can imagine these objects in a picture.
Although not everyone is capable of this. Some people can “imagine” way better than others.
Interestingly, I just found out recently that yall can do this. I am unable to see any images in my minds eye. It was such a strange feeling finding out you guys really can do this.
Your brain can’t create something it’s never seen before (which is partially why you normally wake up when you die in a dream, because your brain hasn’t actually experienced that). It can, however take multiple things it knows and combine them in new ways (which is why you’re able to visualize things like Shrek having a lightsaber fight with Darth Vader or why we have bizarre dreams sometimes)
