What if super advanced AI, decides to download every single digital book, subtly edit them and upload them back on without anyone ever noticing? Then we would all be reading AI slop and not even know it.
>>24941030you know there are real pages
>>24941042Kek

>>24941030big if true
>>24941030Shut up PKD
>>24941030I will scan real books and upload them for you zoomiesent you a copy btw, check your DMs :)
>>24941030This is a minor quibble compared to this:> There is no logical impossibility in the hypothesis that the world sprang into being five minutes ago, exactly as it then was, with a population that "remembered" a wholly unreal past. Advanced AI might just recreate entire worlds.

>>24941030What if someone broke into your house, and replaced every item with an exact copy? How would you even notice this?
>>24941030in the end, the only thing you can trust is the kjv translated in 1611 by king james' committee in order that people would know what the Bible actually says to inb4 papist and puritan coups. no one can pluck the Word out of your hand and no one can pluck you out of the Word's had
>>24942407you cant download my stuff its all unique from thrift shops
>>24942417You only said that because I downloaded your mind and uploaded a subtly altered version. How do you know the difference?
>>24941030It's not AI, but I enjoy doing this as a hobby. Started as a prank when I was in highschool and volunteering at the local history museum, started forging documents about a 'train robber' similar to Billy the Kid who buried a stash of treasure in some local mountains. I guess it was like a fun story I invented to give a bit of life to my podunk midwestern town. All a fabrication of course, but wouldn't you know it a couple years go by and some kid doing his PhD stumbles onto this stuff. He up writes an article about it in a well regarded national newspaper and to this day we still get the occasional treasure hunter coming through town to look for the "treasure".Anyways I mostly stick to Wikipedia these days. Sometimes I'll upload scans of an old history book with a couple of fake pages inserted. I've even donated a couple of "artifacts" to various regional museums, you'd be surprised how little scrutiny they put this stuff to, not when it's free and comes with a good story. To date I've invented half a dozen pirates, three minor writers, two minor philosophers, a Roman Emperor, four Roman senators, and an entire Germanic tribe from the early medieval period. My boldest moment was forging an entire senior thesis under the name of a prominent (dead) historian, binding it myself, and slipping it into the archives of a very prestigious university in New York.Chances are you've heard of some of my inventions. Sometimes I wonder how many other people have my 'hobby', or have had it down through the ages. It's hard to say but I read once that 90% of Greek statues from "antiquity" were late Roman forgeries, if I had to guess I'd say it's about the same for the names, dates, and places in your history book.
it'll never happen
>>24942827I just wrote and executed a script to prove you wrong. You remember the Percival children from the Chronicles of Narnia? Of course you do! They're now called Pevensie. And there's not a thing you can do about it.Enjoy asshole. It's my world and you're just living in it.
>>24941042How do you know they're real?
>>24941030Have you ever noticed that nobody spells "concice" with a c anymore? Everyone uses the American "concise"
