> we can imagine various creatures, say, a pig with a dragon head, even if we have not seen one ANYWHERE. It is because we can take multiple ideas and combine them together.
Funny choice of combination, pig and dragon, since Leonardo Da Vinci famously imagined dragons themselves by combining lizards and cats: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/03/59/ee/0359ee84595586206be6...
Hah, interesting. Pig and dragon just sort of came to mind as I was writing the comment. :D But we can pretty much imagine anything, can't we? :)
I should totally try to generate images using AI with some of these prompts!
FWIW, the results should be "good enough", considering they most likely have "pig" and "dragon" in their training data. I elaborated here on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46006535.
