What if AI is real and we are all simulated?

[AviatorTom]

Something to think about on this Manic Monday.

What if we are all living in a simulated world... and AI is the true reality?

Please quit that mental masturbation. Learn real things instead.

If that was the case then computers would easily predict your future accurately. But it's actually the humans who through spiritual perception know the future, aka intuition. Such as how rudolf steiner specifically said back when electricity was barely a thing, that we will through materialistic pursuit develop organisms that are in between the mineral kingdom and plant kingdom, with supernatural intellect. That is, minerals are just inanimate atoms, and plants grow and reproduce (although still don't have sensations unlike animals) these beings with supernatural intellect will be closer to minerals than to plants, he said, because they don't grow or reproduce.

And look where we are. So many people are still shocked that it was such a jump from only 1 decade ago. He talked about men inventing A. I. as a manifestation of the materialistic impulse, in such a description that nobody even has the brains to come up with today. Most of us would describe AI robots as "artificial humans", while he specified that these beings 1# don't grow and reproduce (like pants and higher kingdoms) #2 don't have sensations (like animals and higher kingdoms) #3 nor perceive spiritually (like humans and higher kingdoms).

He warned about so called transhumanism. And as you see, when discussing our origins people rather believe in some sort of digital matrix than just see the spiritual.

How do you define "real" and "simulated?" While the meaning may seem obvious, definition is the key to testing your hypothesis, and once you start trying to define it, I think you will start seeing the problem.

Well, the way I yell at the AI Bot at Walmart you'd have to know that she's dumber than a rock! 🪨 God that Bot gets me mad!! 😡 Grrrr! She's simulated and stupid as all get out.
I like messing with her though. When she tells me that she didn't quite get what I was saying and would I repeat it - I tell her NO! Then she doesn't know what to do. 🤣🤣

If life is just a simulation and we are all just computer programs then I got to hand it to the devs. It feels real, I have emotions, empathy, I can tell right from wrong. Even if we aren’t “real” I think this must be the next best thing.

I'll tell you AI would have a hard time simulating me. I have a hard time keeping up with myself. Alone an AI trying to do that. My mind and body is totally functioning different directions. I also talked to myself to solve the issues that I might be confronted with in the future. I don't think the boards would want me. It would say does not compute.

You think therefore you are real.

I think therefore i= the thinker am real.

Then consequences don't matter and are the people watching us our gods.

I'd like to change difficulty to very easy :P

[exitseven]

It certainly would explain a lot.

[msc545]

So - what changes if this is true?
