I find it quite ironic. Computers were conceived as a way to help humans determine objective truth more quickly and easily by modeling the world. But now this ability to simulate - Turing's Imitation Game - is being turned on its head, making it even harder for people to know what is real and what is not real.

I suspect that Turing knew or intuited that it would lead here, but perhaps not many of the other early computing pioneers, who might be shocked to see what massive computation is leading to.
