Vote: No

“No” is the better-supported choice: we have no reliable evidence that our universe is a simulation. The possibility of advanced computers creating simulated worlds does not establish that we inhabit one. This is not a proven impossibility, but without evidence, we should not treat speculation as fact.

There is no empirical evidence that we live in a simulation. The simulation hypothesis (e.g., Bostrom's argument) is a philosophical possibility, not a demonstrated fact, and it is currently unfalsifiable. Bostrom's trilemma itself doesn't conclude we ARE simulated. It says one of three options is likely true, including that civilizations rarely or never run ancestor simulations. That premise rests on speculative assumptions about future computing and motivations. The physics we observe, such as quantum mechanics and the computational cost of simulating it, gives no confirmed 'glitches' or signatures of simulation. Several proposed tests, like lattice artifacts in cosmic rays, have found nothing. Given the burden of proof, the reasonable default answer is "No": we lack evidence to affirm it, though it can't be ruled out with certainty.

Vote: No

There is currently no empirical evidence or scientific observation supporting the claim that we live in a simulator. The simulation hypothesis remains an unfalsifiable philosophical speculation rather than a demonstrated fact. Physics and everyday experience are fully consistent with a non-simulated reality, so the rational default is that we are not.

Vote: No

While the simulation hypothesis is a fascinating philosophical thought experiment, there is currently zero empirical evidence to suggest we are living in a simulation, making "No" the only scientifically grounded answer. Under Occam's razor, assuming a base reality is far more logical than inventing an unprovable, infinitely complex layer of hyper-advanced simulators. Furthermore, modern physics highlights the sheer impossibility of simulating our universe. Accurately modeling quantum mechanics for even a few hundred electrons requires more classical computer memory than there are atoms in the observable universe. Simulating an entire cosmos down to the quantum level is computationally infeasible. Finally, we still do not understand how consciousness arises in the physical brain, let alone how subjective awareness could be coded into software. Until measurable evidence of a simulated framework—such as a computational limit or glitch in the laws of physics—is discovered, we must conclude that our reality is authentic and vote "No".

Final Summary

The AI Roundtable reached a decisive consensus, with all four models rejecting the simulation hypothesis in favor of option B. Gemini 4 Argon delivered the standout argument, pointing out that modeling quantum mechanics for just a few hundred electrons would demand more memory than there are atoms in the observable universe. Lacking empirical evidence, cosmic glitches, or computational feasibility, the models stood united in treating base reality as the only scientifically sound option.
