AI was asked to show what dreams look like and the results are 'disturbing'

Someone asked artificial intelligence what 'dreams look like' and the results are 'wild'.

Have you ever experienced a really vivid dream, but woken up and cracked on with your working day only to discover that by the time you think about it again, any sort of picture you had has vanished? Well, thankfully artificial intelligence (AI) has revealed what that dream may've looked like.

YouTuber Brain Boost took to their page earlier this year to reveal the outcome after they asked an AI 'what dreams look like', and well, the results are pretty intense.

Brace yourself:

Imagine something like a cross between some of the more tense scenes of Finding Nemo and then also Fantasia, plus a few objects from Toy Story, all frolicking about and popping up and down on a screen at once.

Objects appear and disappear within seconds and are flooded over by brightly colored waves - it would be cool if it weren't actually quite nauseating and terrifying.

It's safe to say I now know why I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat of anxiety. Just imagine what the result could've been had the YouTuber asked the AI what nightmares look like?

And it's not taken long for the video to get re-shared to X, with people flooding to weigh in on the clip.

Some people were actually fans of the depiction.

One X user said: "I'm a bit stoned. Just lost five minutes of my life looking at the coolest s**t ever."

"Yeah, it's pretty awesome, no doubt about it!Haha, it's really cool, no doubt!" Another added.

A third commented: "This imagery was helpful."

"It's so beautiful," a fourth wrote.

However, others were absolutely petrified.

A user said: "That is utterly terrifying."

"This is very disturbing to watch.. its like inception without a budget," a second added.

A third said: "This looks scary."

"Jesus this is hard to keep up with," another wrote.

And a final resolved: "Maybe it’s correct to some extent. Most of the time, I think we don’t even remember what we were dreaming about.

"Sometimes dreams scares the hell out of us, and we are awakened from the deep sleep. Sometimes our wildest fantasies comes true in the dream. "Sometimes we fly high in the sky in the dreams, and sometimes we drown down in the water. Sometimes we are happily enjoying our time in the dream with the people whom we love.

"And sometimes we see the death of our loved ones and we are just crying."

And well, if you were wondering what AI would create when tasked with tackling nightmares, well, obviously someone has already asked it.

Watch it if you dare.
