Epistemic Status: this is just a fun idea I had, I will report back in the future if this increases my retention. Crosspost from heye.earth

Tl;dr: Use Midjourney/Dall-E 2/Stable Diffusion to generate visual mnemonics to increase retention.

Flashcards are powerful ways to learn, but they often use only the linguistic part of our brain. What if you could invoke the strong emotions that images entail for every piece of knowledge you want to learn, in a semi-automated way?

With Midyourney you can: just copy paste (please someone automate this for me) the front or back of any flashcard into the engine and you will get these beautiful images back. The following are a few examples from my Anki deck, more at my Midjourney account.
