Simulacrum not only deprives from authenticity and oscillation between presence and absence, but also transcends reality or origin to enter the hyperreal territory. Therefore, as artificial intelligence increasingly engulfed part of our imagination and humanity, and even incarnate them in AI-generated images, simulacrum no longer originates from the simulation of referential being or a substance. Instead, it exists in a more dubious realm by feigning simulations and representations based on massive data analyzation. Finally, we unconsciously accept, internalize and repeat simulacrums, until we lose our basic and intact judgments about the difference between reality and simulacrum. Could we unmask and dismantle these simulacrums by microscopic observations of fundamental essences of cells? Or are even the reflections which we perceive under the microscope themselves simulacrum? (The simulacrum is truth about nothingness.)
