        I’ve always felt this way because the brain simply mixes things up from what it has got as sensory inputs. This is probably why you can’t imagine a color that you never saw or imagine a audio tone which you’ve never heard. Is there a talk of yours on this I can listen to?

        Without generative model it would ne hard to imagine.

        My bet is most almost certainly (with neurobiological evidence being dreams imagination etc...) But what we do know for certain is our brains generated generative models in ML :)

        Probably yes. Dreams could be the result of generative models in the brain running unchecked by any sensory input.

        Absolutely! We do have an internal generative model that gets updated with the sensory data to bridge the gap between it and the real world.

        Yes - a lot of current theory built around the idea that most of what we "experience" is actually generated, and adjusted to various degrees by sensory-motor input/output. Surprise occurs when things do not conform well to our generative model's expectations.

        Great question. It feels that way when meditating. Also, our eyes saccade and have blind spots that we are not aware of. Is what we see largely generated? Or is it like rapidly moving TV frames giving us a sense of full view? Regardless, generation is a good hypothesis for AI.
