We already interact with false reality through our "old school" computers – internet is full of bots arguing with each other and with us. But my proposition doesn't have to distort the interpreted content.
Neural nets (RNNs) are Turing-complete, so they can simulate web browser 1:1. In theory, of course. Let say we find a way to train a neural net to identically simulate web browser. The weights of this blob might at first seem like an opaque non-sense, but in reality it would/could contain a more efficient implementation than whatever we have came up with.
Alan Kay believed computer science should take its cues from biology. Rather than constructing software like static buildings, we ought to cultivate it like living, evolving organisms.
