"Brain in the Vat" scenario. Been around for ages.

Here are a few reasons why this scenario is unlikely and why our reality is more plausibly based on what we commonly perceive as the natural world:

  1. Lack of Evidence: We have no empirical evidence or scientific observations that directly suggest we are living in an AI simulation. While the concept of a simulated reality has been explored in science fiction and philosophical discussions, it remains speculative and lacks concrete evidence.

  2. Occam's Razor: The principle of Occam's Razor suggests that the simplest explanation is often the most likely. Assuming that our reality is an actual physical world governed by natural laws is simpler and requires fewer assumptions than the hypothesis that we are within an intricate AI simulation created by advanced beings from the future.

  3. Emergence of Consciousness: The question of consciousness remains a profound mystery in both philosophy and science. If our reality were an AI simulation, the emergence of consciousness and subjective experiences would need to be convincingly explained. Consciousness is still not fully understood, and replicating it within a simulation would be a monumental task.

While it is impossible to provide absolute certainty, the consensus among scientists, philosophers, and AI experts is that the hypothesis of us living in an AI simulation projected by AI from the future is highly speculative and lacks compelling evidence. It is more reasonable to interpret our experiences as a result of the natural world we perceive.
