For those that don't have aphantasia, can you do a mental face swap or do other "edits" of mental imagery and keep it consistent in your mind?
And for those that do have it, how does remembering pictures work for you? Like the Mona Lisa, or an MC Escher, or the last supper? Is any memory purely word-based or do you get flashes of imagery that aren't really vivid but still there somewhere?
I ask because I'm not sure if I do or don't have it. I can imagine audio much more vividly and rich than imagery, but I can still recall pictures and images as images. I can create them, but if I try to go into detail or make "edits", I start losing it.
It's like primitive AI since it's the same but the details aren't there and if the details are there, I'm not getting the full picture. It can instantly swap between the two be they never seem to overlap
