Apopheniac

Neuroscience tells us memories are evolving constructs, changeable with each recollection. Here, twenty-year-old negatives, chemically melted, reveal abstractions that somehow mirror AI generated visuals. Both human memory and AI can produce false narratives due to gaps. Apopheniac (not a word) from Apophenia: (the tendency to perceive patterns in randomness) is part of an ongoing investigation into reality in our era. This text was inspired by a conversation with Chat GPT comparing human false memories and AI hallucinations, during which it invented a non-existent neuroscience paper.
