AI went from being consistently incapable of making fingers at all to consistently making them very well in an incredibly short amount of time. So I'm not sure that even ASL would convince me 100% that a video is real
Hello fellow human. I am looking for other humans like myself to do human things. If you tell me your address, I can use my human legs to go and meet you and we can have some liquid or solid nourishment via the mouth intake.
You can't really prove that you aren't a man who got hit by a car and has spent the last 3 weeks in a coma, and everything you have experienced since birth is nothing more then your brain trying to unscramble itself....
In fact....
John can you hear us? We are all here for you.
No, Doctor, he opened his eyes it was just for a second but I saw his eyes.
This is a complete tangent unrelated to the OP, but...
The problem I have with simulation theory is that it feels like it stops short of its own logical conclusion. Like, clearly there's no experiment you can do to something "concrete" like a coffee mug or a mountain to prove it's not made of abstract stuff (like numbers, algorithms, data, whatever). That bit's nearly self-evident at this point in history. But then simulation theory people still seem to believe that there must be a "real world" made of concrete matter. It seems to me more likely that there's no such thing as "truly concrete". It's turtles numbers/algorithms/data/math/whatever all the way down.
You would probably dig Ian M Banks' The Hydrogen Sonata. There's a long passage where a very smart entity thinks about at what level a simulation would be unethical to terminate.
It’s like a Star Gate for shit. Sam Altman has opened up a gigantic anus that spews forth a never ending supply of shit. It’s just a ceaseless shit hole for the ages. A grand accomplishment.

The theory wasn't wrong, it was just early.

ASL is going to make a come back only this time it's going to be weird.

ASL? American sign language?

The only thing AI can’t produce reliably is fingers, so sign language will be the only way to prove you’re human on video soon.

Bro, why are you fucking lying that used to be a problem, it really isn’t anymore

Why are we still calling this a theory? Should we not just call it an axiom as it is obviously true?

TIL. Thanks for directing me down that helpful rabbit hole.

Because you're human, right? So am I. The internet isn't completely dead yet if random strangers are still able to find each other and communicate.

I too am a human, with hair and skin and everything!

Sure would have been nice to have been the control timeline, rather than the one infected with everything to watch how it dies (hint: painfully).

Looking at the current state of the world, I can't even disagree.
