This is a pretty ancient idea, it’s interesting how there is an intersection beteeen AI and god, I don’t think our minds can avoid it.

Hindus believed god was the thing you describe, infinitely intelligent, able to do several things at once etc, and they believe we’re part of that things dream…to literally keep things spicy. Just as an elephant is part of that dream.

I pasted an interesting quote in another comment by Alan Watts that sums it up better.

Simulation theory is another version of religion imo.
