Rick, Present tense stative progressives, although considered ungrammatical, are in wide use even by highly educated people. We may be witnessing a slow evolution in the understanding of English grammar. The rationale is that "progressive statives" emphasize the episodic or temporary nature of an activity. They also convey greater vividness, intensity, involvement, and a sense of self-awareness. In practice "progressive statives" convey politeness in the form of tentativeness, softening, and a desire for harmony. Their function is similar to that of modal verbs. If "I don't like what I see." speaks of a state of existence, something that is relatively stable, of a world of facts and reality in the outside world, then "I don't like what I am seeing." speaks of the temporary and changing aspect of consciousness. There is a hope in the continuous present for change in the future. If "I hear you." is an objective state of fact, then " I am hearing you." is an expression of our free will decision "to hear", of a living inner reality.

These are different meanings of see. Sorry mate, but you really have to pay more attention to the meaning of words. Then you'll understand the rationale behind the use of the progressive.

In my view, many writers prefer to use the progressive form when they want to emphasize the figurative meaning of the word.

In many cases, there is no rational reason to use "am seeing" over "see". I think it is used to add emphasis of feeling and to emphasize that the object in the sentence is happening continually. It can also be used to refer to plans that you have made and will act on. "What are you doing tonight." "I'm seeing that new play" (vs. I am going to see that new play)

when u use "see" as a main verb of a sentence then 'i am seeing' is not a valid sentence...still people r addicted to this kind of structure ...
