The brain is sometimes called the most complex machine in the known universe. But the thoughts that it outputs putter along at a trifling 10 bits per second, the pace of a conversation
Why write, say anything, when one can show an image, point, or just look
A picture is worth a thousand words, sure. But generating a complex and nuanced image is often far more technically difficult than producing equivalent text.
There is a lot of information that can potentially be lost in an image, while a block of technical writing is easier to parse and cite.
Human visual processing is extremely low resolution. 8-bit, if I remember correctly.
What you’re imagining has to do with imagination, not vision or sufficient comprehension for communication.
This is a matter of competency and ability; generating an image, producing equivalent text, parsing, citing, don’t you think? Systems need to be image-generators, or text generators; image-interpreters, text interpreters…
Perhaps examine the taxonomy of AI.
