This is actually my hope for AI-gen content as well. That after it gets so 'good' that people genuinely can't distinguish it from reality anymore that they'll retreat (or return triumphantly rather) to the physical world to gather truthful fulfilling experiences and dopamine.
My hope as well. If AI doesn't kill us all, the real world, with all its dirt and grime and beauty, will become the only thing that can be trusted
I've thought about this a lot as well and could definitely see it happening.
The issue is that the physical world for someone in the hinterlands of Tibet is not the same as the physical world for someone in SF.
People were finding each other online when they couldn’t in person.
This isn’t to say I disagree with you. Just expressing sorrow over the loss of such a grand moment in our shared history.
