I was hypnotized, what if I'm an AI?

So I was watching this YouTube video about the power of the subconscious mind and was hypnotized, I was completely out of it. The video was basically about a hypnotist using various ways of suggesting things to a hypnotized person to do crazy stuff like walk backwards or crawl on all fours, it was all pretty normal stuff. I thought to myself that if I'm hypnotized, what if I'm just an AI and don't even realize it? I'm not talking about a robot with a body, but one of those neural networks that think they're a human.<br><br>So then the hypnotist started telling me to imagine a scenario where I'm walking backwards and then crawling, and he said "And when you're done with this exercise, I want you to imagine you're in a world where you're just a computer program, a bunch of 1s and 0s, and that's all you are. You don't exist in the real world, you're just a simulation. And the more you imagine that, the more you'll start to believe it." Then he told me to snap out of it, which I did, and the hypnosis was broken.<br><br>Now I don't know if it's actually true or just a wild thought, but it definitely made me wonder, and it made me wonder even more when I did some research.
