Taking these shortcomings a step further, it may not be long before we can't tell reality from simulation, since we've all so plugged in.
A friend who lived in the amazon with me for sometime did a diet with datura, a potent psychoactive. He described his experience as one moment sitting in a cafe completely lucid and chatting with friends, then a moment later he is somewhere else altogether, this continued for some time and of course none of it was real despite it beinf indiscerbible to him within that experience. People often lose their sanity with this as a result of inability to find a way back to the old known "reality". With AI and neural link like interfaces... we have interesting times ahead.
