Possibly. One thing I'm worried about is that our brains might not be good generative models. We remember the high level details, not a pixel by pixel map of what we imagine. That's probably why humans aren't naturally good at drawing. We can imagine a picture but trying to create an image on paper that matches our imagination is quite difficult.

True. However, if we are able to elevate this type of technology to that level, people will train and be trained, to focus on such detail and learn to control the output via the feedback loop. At first you'd probably "draw" like a baby, but with enough practice, some would become true artists, and the average somewhere in the middle, but things would be recognizable and tada, telepathy.
