AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh wow.
You've been playing games, watching movies, listening to music, that has entirely, for literal decades, been fake.
Your games were pixellated or rasterized. Raster is a false imitation of reality. Devs manually tuned the look, feel, style of every game you've ever played. It was all subjective and fake.
Your movies were sampled, had their colour retouched, had their photography artificially tuned and their editing arranged. Even the actors don't act like they want to mimic real conversations.
Your musics were sampled and limited into 0s and 1s within data size constraints.
Even when you're on the phone talking to someone, it's not their voice, it's a shrunken imitation of the person you're talking to, with your brain doing mostly imaginary work for completion.
You have 4000+ messages on a hardware forum. And you go "oh wow, you desire all artificial and contrived surroundings. Implies reality is not nice. I'd hate to be living where you are now.".
No, no.
I merely have enough intelligence to realise that it was all fake. It always was fake. Most of what we've been doing since the 80s is growing machines into making more convincing fakes.
I recently watched Le Samouraï, an old 60s movie. It was a profoundly interesting movie, but the horrible grain on my entirely legally and respectfully stolen torrent was just bad.
I have taken a picture of the Moon, and it looked like a bland white disc because the lens is not capable of accurately capturing the details of the full Moon due to extreme brightness contrast.
I have been hesitating between recording with CQP 20 or CQP 30, since 20 gives me barely better visual detail and costs twice the HDD space, but colours pop out that much more than 30.
I wish Le Samouraï had no grain.
I wish my Moon, the one I saw with my own eyes, was pictured the way it looked to me.
I wish I could have CQP 1 and still have enough HDD space to just not care.
It was always fake. It's just a question of how well the fakeness is built. Looking down on people for wanting credible AI fakeness instead of your old classic fakeness is not a sign of loving reality, it's just showing that all your life, you haven't been able to understand that you were looking at fake things yourself. But I have. So I'll have the AI Moon, I'll have the AI details, I'll have whatever it is that makes it look more like what I want it to look like.
