In her talk, Sarah explores the connection between artificial intelligence (AI) and psychedelic experiences, focusing on why imperfect AI-generated videos often appear surreal or "trippy." She explains that AI's neural networks, which mimic human consciousness through pattern recognition, produce visuals that resemble the fluid, morphing perceptions common in psychedelic states. Siskind highlights similarities between AI and psychedelic consciousness, including distorted time perception, weakened identity boundaries, and heightened interconnectivity. She suggests that both AI and psychedelics prompt deep introspection, offering transformative potential for understanding consciousness and their respective roles in human experience.
