There will come a time in the next one to two generations, due to AI advancement, where everything in the online world will become so fake yet indistinguishable from reality that no one will be able to tell the difference anymore.

Everything online will eventually be presumed to be fiction and consumed as fiction.

The only possible way anymore to be sure that one is having an authentic and genuine, unmediated, unedited experience with another will be offline, face-to-face interactions.

Humanity will break into three different directions.

1) A portion of the population will lose themselves in complete, 24/7 addiction to the fictional online world, losing touch with reality altogether (think The Matrix).

These people will literally need to be given IVs to stay alive, as they mindlessly stare at their screens.

They will no longer have any compulsion to care for their own physical bodies, as their energy is mined to feed the Machine.

2) A second portion of the population will use the online world as an occasional form of indulgence in fantasy and imagination, while still giving their primary attention to genuine human interactions—similar to the way people currently may watch a few movies a week or a TV series for fictional entertainment.

3) The third portion of the population will be creating communities which consciously and intentionally eliminate the internet, television, and smartphones altogether, in favor of deeper communion with each other, Nature, and God.

In these communities, the screen will be eschewed for face-to-face conversations, making music together, cooking and eating meals together, praying and meditating together, dancing together, building aesthetically beautiful architecture and gardens together.

Sharing sacred time in places of immense natural beauty and inspiration will be the focus. (Think Amish but cooler & having lots more fun )
