I'm not with you, at all, but I did have a knot in my stomach the otehr day reading a quote from one of the founders of MidJourney, David Holz who apparently said
"Within the next year or two, you’ll be able to make content in real time: 30 frames a second, high resolution. It’ll be expensive, but it’ll be possible. Then, in 10 years, you’ll be able to buy an Xbox with a giant AI processor, and all the games are dreams.".
As someone who used to take quite a lot of psychedelics, there's something quite terrifying about the promise of this premise - it takes me back to the wrong sort of trips where the ever-unfolding strata of reality became too much bear and I'd end up mentally cowering beneath the unrelenting bigness of it all.

I don't think AI's are going to be collapsing people's innate sense of reality (the way that psychedelics does at least), perhaps leaving them questioning what media is and isn't real though.
