Peter Diamandis argues that generative AI will create photorealistic virtual worlds indistinguishable from reality within decades, making the simulation hypothesis increasingly plausible as the technology advances.
Do you think we live in a simulation? I am sure we live in a simulation. We're on the tip of right now generative AI being able to create television shows to real-life environments where AI constructs think they're alive and moving around. We're in a video game world where imagery looks photorealistic. And so what could we do in 10 years, in 20 years, in 50 years? I'm sure we're going to create environments that if you were inside it, you wouldn't know that it was a simulation.
