No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This happens for humans when they dream, too.
Basically, when recognizing or producing accurate text isn't the utility function... You don't get accurate text.
Welcome to the matrix or something.
I noticed that I find writing in dreams exceedingly hard. "reading" is easy because I never truly read it but rather so just so happen to know what a word says without analysing it.
Once I have to write the word it becomes hell however as I can't seem to manage to make anything coherent with things morphing around constantly.
interesting, i only ever remember reading in my dreams and several times now i've had dreams where i recognize that text changes every time i read it and is just vaguely correct sounding nonsense like "blueab smolbob eat blitsfop", and the reason i realize this is specifically because it's frustrating to try to read something and it.. doesn't work??
To add to this, the way the AI is trained is that you pass in images with descriptions (for the most part). Since most descriptions focus on the main concepts, it generally won't have the actual text included in the descriptions. Without the being included in the descriptions, the AI will have a hard time learning the meaning of the squiggles in the images. In addition those squiggles can represent a lot of different things, so even if it grows to "understand" letters, it's really hard to "understand" their meaning; thus leading to a lot of weird words/text.
it's pretty fun to look at how they almost get it right in some cases, like if you prompt "birthday" you might get some text that almost looks like "happy birthday" followed by a smudge that is supposed to be a name, but also probably some actually correct numbers because those are much more predictable!
