Project AI Clouds: an interactive essay on whether AI can see beyond human framing
Ill_Command_1200 · reddit · 2026-09-21
The author started with a simple question: what does an AI actually "see" when looking at a photo of clouds? He gave the same cloud image to multiple models, asked what they saw, and iterated prompts explicitly telling them not to think like a human.
It became a small thought experiment on AI perception, training data, and whether a model trained on human knowledge can ever interpret the world independently of us, published as a short interactive essay.
