If this generative AI trend continues then I assume each individual human will be able to render their own worlds, and every other NPC digital mind in it, locally on their own hardware. Other humans could join in, but most of your interactions will be with digital minds that are indistinguishable from humans.

I think a majority of humans will spend a majority of their time in these digital worlds.

Eventually people will ask: "When was the last time you were in the real world?"

Then one day a majority of humans will never disconnect from this digital world.

Finally, almost all minds are digital and the remaining biological humans go underground to Zion.

I agree with this. Seeing how well generative AI can produce vivid imagery and worlds is spectacular. I almost imagine future us will be capable of thinking of an environment and the AI produces said environment around us. Almost like when Wanda produces her Hex in Multiverse of Madness. So exciting! Just imagine with a flick of your wrist (just for show lol) you could change the entire landscape.

I often ask myself, what if the world I'm living in now is already VR, we've all just forgotten about it because we've been here so long.

And the only reason why we can't control our environment is because our environment is created from our thoughts and beliefs, and since we began believing that we are limited human beings, our environment is reflecting exactly that back to us.

This is the tutorial level which gently introduces you to this fact, by showing you how advances in AI led to the creation of immersive worlds, so that the truth will be easier for you to accept. We don't want you puking on our floor like Neo.

I wonder how many times I puked on your floor for you to finally introduce the tutorial level.

If that’s the case I’m ready for Buddhahood. I’ve had enough of ignorance.
