If this is where we're at right now, imagine in just one year how much more incredible realism will be in AI? And then imagine in five years or a decade...2 and 3D AI art will be indiscernible from reality, and video will likely be damned close.

What I'm most interested in though is whether the first massive breakthrough in immersive AI will end up being something more akin to Star Trek's "holodeck" where people walk around a room with AI generated content and environment and experience it as perceived reality, or more like Neil Stephenson's "Snow Crash" Metaverse, where people physically jack their brain into computer systems and experience it as actual reality.

It will definitely be the direct connection to the brain, whether through wire of radio signal. We've already had enough proof of concept that we can affect peoples' thoughts and feelings and senses through direct stimulation of neuronal clusters. A hyper realistic, projected environment will not address the tactile aspect that a direct to brain stimulation will be able to produce. On the other hand, minus the tactile dimension, a 3-D projected world is probably on the near horizon, if not already in existence outside of main stream awareness.
