Are we living in a simulation?

Are we living in a simulation?

Inspired by this UE5 demo:

Which has got to the stage now where simulations are more and more life-like -and where it feels like it’s just a matter of time when they will be indistinguishable from real-life - which kindof begs the question - are we already living in a simulation given it is almost in our own grasp? :upside_down_face:
