I get your point. YOu're saying the world needs to be simulated in order to produce identical sensor output.
I disagree. And my evidence for it is that the trendline clearly shows the rate of improvement for pictures is happening at a rate which clearly shows it will produce pictures that will be indistinguishable.
Like this is independent of whether or not the world needs to be simulated. The On the ground evidence literally shows that the projected trendline is that all pictures and all videos from AI will be indistinguishable in 5 years or less. Right now I would say a PORTION of AI and that portion increases every month.
"And my evidence for it is that the trendline clearly shows the rate of improvement for pictures is happening at a rate which clearly shows it will produce pictures that will be indistinguishable."
Are you aware of the advancements in Astronomy for example? Made possible by ever increasing sensor tech.
So ... if you say, AI pictures might get soon to the point, where they are indistingushable from a ordinary mobile phone camera - then I would say maybe, but I really doubt it will be in 5 years.
But when you say sensor data in general will be indistinguishable from AI generated ones, then I disagree.
