Is it a blessing or a curse?

It really just depends on how we program the AI initially IMO. We need to make sure that the AI understands that our imperfection as a species makes us actually superior to AI in the sense that while we do have deficiencies for sure, but those slight genetic mutations in our DNA also help us evolve as a species. If you cut off the mutations and our ability to fail and learn from our failure (which AI would think it was SAVING us from) then humans as a species stop evolving. If we aren't evolving we are devolving in some way, which would defeat the purpose of having created AI in the first place.

Not to mention that statistically, its MUCH more probable that we are living in an artificial simulation than in the real reality. The one reality so to speak. Think about this for a second... If we had only one reality and one shot at living a real life outside of simulation, then we would want everyone to be "enlightened" and on the same level so we could have a harmonious reality. Wouldn't it make sense that we would put everyone (as a child) in simulated experiences in order to teach them the lessons they need to learn so they can become "enlightened" to the right way of living? Wouldn't that explain reincarnation and the sense that we are just here to learn lessons? That would ALSO explain the concept of heaven as a place you get to go when you have finally learned the lessons you need to. Maybe they just pull us out of the continuous simulation once we are ready....

All i know is something is off with this world, and there are a lot of contradictions and a lot of stuff that nobody can/will explain to the masses. That mixed with the FACT that it is super improbable that this is the real "one" reality really gets me thinking.... If it is a simulation, AI runs it for sure... So when we create AI in this reality, wtf does that mean? do we run simulations inside the simulation? My head hurts now... Huh
