Are We Living In A Computer Simulation?
How do you know if what you are seeing on the Internet is real?
Is it possible most of what you see is created by Artificial Intelligence?
Some people say that the internet is dead and a lot of what you see is fake content created by AI and that we are living in a simulation of some kind.
I watched a documentary the other day called A Glitch In The Matrix. The people in this movie talk about how they believe that we are living in a real computer simulation like in the movie Tron.
I've seen a lot of profiles and content online that could be fake and generated by artificial intelligence. If there's no realism or personality to the content it just doesn't feel real. Kind of like when you go to a business website and they use all stock photos. Yes, all the photos look good but they are not real, they are actors and models.
Artificial Intelligence is good enough now to create any kind of content from photos of people that don't exist to full podcasts with your voice that you didn't make. You can even put yourself into a classic movie with deep fake technology.
This Person Does Not Exist
All of the photos you see on this website are generated by AI they do not exist in real life.

These clips were created by AI, Joe Rogan did not create these audios.
The Shining starring Jim Carrey
This iconic movie starring Jack Nicolson was modified to star Jim Carrey's face with Jack's voice.
How To Stand Out In The Crowd
If you want to stand out in your online marketing the best thing you can do is to not act like a robot or anything a robot can create. You need to be as real and interactive as possible.
That means you need to create real content on a regular basis. You need to find a way to reach beyond the screen and connect with people in real life (IRL).
I find it refreshing when I meet real people online and have real conversations with them and then take those conversations to the real world.
Are you just liking posts and scrolling on your device like a mindless robot or are you really connecting with people you meet online and really getting to know them?
For the past year I pretty much abandoned social media including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. I also quit using a smart phone more about that later in a future post.
Now I'm back and I have a whole new mindset and plan for how to use the internet and social media. That's the important part to take away from this post.
I feel a bit like Alice In Wonderland coming back to Social Media
But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
You need to use Social Media and NOT let it use you.
I encourage you to start following me as I lay out my thoughts and teach you what and how I'm using the internet to reach more real people and stand out in the sea of fake content and bots.
In this day and age it's even more important that we create real and lasting connections with humans and that principle will only become even more valuable valuable in the days ahead.
