The idea that we might exist within a simulation has been growing in popularity. It can only be speculated whether or not the "programmer" of our simulation would have god-like powers, or is only responsible for basically planting a seed . I think I would align with the latter of these two options.

So, assuming it's the latter, Do you suppose that as our programmer watches our collective intelligence and technology progress, slowly at first but moving at an ever quicker rate of advancement, it becomes as concerned as we might of AI's ever quickening advancement? Are we to god what AI is to us?

ehh...I'm not as convinced. I'm not saying there's some bearded, Abrahamic god or anything similar but I think it's a mistake to dismiss any notion of intelligent or deliberate design. I tend to think that religion exists at the edge of scientific understanding and there is an enormous amount that we simply don't know or understand.
