.... Dear Steve, a serious question Brother. Perhaps another thread...
Do you ever wonder if all of this is a machine simulation? Could the AI-human hybrids already exist and operate interdenominationally? Sometimes I wonder, if we saw the very raw truth, would we still consider it so beautiful? Would we still feel magic and connection?
Often people misunderstand each other because they do not understand what others are saying.
When you talk about simulation... I thought I would bring up a definition to this term.
sim·u·la·tion
/ˌsimyəˈlāSH(ə)n/
noun
imitation of a situation or process.
"simulation of blood flowing through arteries and veins"
the action of pretending; deception.
"clever simulation that's good enough to trick you"
the production of a computer model of something, especially for the purpose of study.
"the method was tested by computer simulation"
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyborgIn this link above we see that the idea of mechanical simulation has been around for sometime.
Here is a different definition;
Simulation means replicating a real world operation or a process in a virtual world, using the simulation technology all the core mechanical companies are analyzing their products. which helps in minimizing the development time and cost.

Mostly you read about human-Animal hybrids. But I wonder Eric if you are referring to human hybrids that have mechanical parts. For instance I have thought for sometime now that there have been creatures made like living beings to survive the long distance and time in space travel. This would explain the creatures looking like E.T.’s that many humans have been exposed to. So are you taking this one step further? Saying that perhaps there are beings among us posing as real who are in actuality a simulation of what is real? And therefore questioning their purpose?
