The image above is an eerie creation of A.I. circulating online. Upon closer inspection, one can quickly discern the cold and soulless atmosphere and peculiarities like an excess of teeth, fingers, and eyes lacking any real depth. As technology advances, relying solely on the appearance of images may no longer suffice. Instead, people must rely on their intuition and perception of the energy and feel of things to navigate these uncertain waters. Quoting Tony Montana from Scarface, "The eyes chico, they never lie."

Seeing with perspective - To see in various ways: To see things as they are, not as what they appear to be.
As A.I. technology continues to permeate various aspects of our daily lives. As such, cultivating a deep understanding of oneself and aligning it with our intuition and other abilities inherently gifted from a higher source has become more critical than ever. Developing these skills can enhance our visual perception and cognitive abilities, which will be particularly valuable as technological advancements continue to shape our world and potentially homogenize visual culture. Furthermore, by developing these skills, we can also improve our ability to detect deep fakes and other forms of image manipulation, making us less susceptible to deception.
The impact of A.I. on visual perception is complex and multifaceted, with both positive and negative effects. While AI-generated images can increase the efficiency of visual media production, they can also homogenize visual culture, leading to a loss of diversity and uniqueness in the images we see. This homogenization can blur the boundaries between reality and illusion, challenging our ability to trust our perceptions and undermining our ability to identify deep fakes and other forms of image manipulation.
As A.I. becomes more prevalent in photography and other forms of visual media, it has the potential to reshape our aesthetic preferences and expectations. With the rise of computer-generated images, people may become more accustomed to aesthetics that only exist in the virtual world. This could lead to a shift in what people consider beautiful or visually appealing and a diminished appreciation for the unique imperfections and nuances of the physical world. Over time, this could impact our ability to engage meaningfully with our surroundings and each other as our visual standards and expectations become increasingly detached from reality.
Excessive screen time and social media use have been linked to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and social isolation in numerous studies. The increasing prevalence of A.I. generated images, and digital media can exacerbate these issues. As people become more accustomed to viewing and interacting with artificial images, they may find it harder to connect with real-life relationships and experiences, leading to decreased social interaction and increased feelings of loneliness and disconnection. However, we can mitigate these adverse effects by developing our inherent skills and limiting screen time.
While A.I. generated images and digital media have their benefits, they also have the potential to negatively impact our perception of reality and our ability to form meaningful connections with others. Therefore, it is essential to be mindful of these issues and take steps to limit our screen time, engage in real-life interactions, and continuously hone our unique abilities only limited by our imagination and mental capacity. Ultimately, the most significant transformative power source, real magic or "game changer," lies within our ability to master the art and science of effecting change in alignment with ourselves, our intentions, and our goals, making us less susceptible to the potential negative impacts of AI-generated images and digital media. As we continue to advance technologically, it is essential to stay mindful of these issues and continuously develop the abilities gifted to us from a higher source.
