Basics of The Cave / Evil Genie / AI

.

1. Reality is just a shadow, an illusion, a dream or an algorithm program controlled by Artificial Intelligence.

2. Perhaps, the illusion is controlled by an evil genius or by an artificial intelligence that we do not know.

3. If we take into account the exponential advance that the progress of virtual simulation worlds and games has had, it is inevitable that at some point we will be able to create a virtual experience that returns to the current reality indistinguishable from the experience.

4. How can we know that the reality in which we live is reality and not just a program based on algorithms?

For a more enlightened idea of ​​this belief, it is suggested to read the works of Isaac Assimov, see the feature films, I'm Robot, The Matrix, The Terminator, Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner, and listen to the comments on the matter by Elon Musk, Larry Page and Tim Cook.
