I let AI draw my mind palace

With mind palace, I mean the Method of loci. I first stumbled across this method after watching the BCC series 'Sherlock'. The protagonist and one of his adversaries use this method to keep large amounts of information memorized.

Now I was curious and tried to describe the place I call mine to AI (DALL-E and then MS Copilot). Here's my favorite result.

And I'm even more curious to see yours. If you've ever used this technique (or have gotten curious reading this), please go ahead and post your mind palace here

Hello, I am creating Mind Palace using the app that I am developing and it looks like this - by the screenshot you can see that my Mind Palace looks like a Marauder's map from Harry Potter:) For me it is more about learning through memorable experiences rather than a technique for memorising facts.

That's a pretty cool idea as well. I've read some people use several places on a street or in a village rather than a single one. Yours looks more like a whole journey. You wouldn't happen to use Obsidian graphs a lot? :D

I use Obsidian, however, not the graph view :) But with this project, I pursue creating a spacial structure, but not entirely flat as a graph (which at some point becomes non-comprehendible). Yes indeed, I want my Palace to reflect different areas of my interests, but for all of them to stay on the same map, to allow spontaneous connections to appear.
