Have a source for that?
I think you are anthropomorphising the AI too much. Imagination is inspired by reality, which AI does not have. Introducing a reality which the AI fully controls (looking beyond issues of vision and physics simulation) would only induce psychosis in the AI itself since false assumptions would only be amplified.
> psychosis in the AI itself
I think you're anthropomorphising the AI too much: what does it mean for an LLM to have psychosis? This implies that LLMs have a soul, or a consciousness, or a psyche. But... do they?
Speaking of reality, one can easily become philosophical and say that we humans don't exactly "have" a reality either. All we have are sensor readings. LLMs' sensors are texts and images they get as input. They don't have the "real" world, but they do have access to tons of _representations_ of this world.
