Can Humans Comprehend the Complex AI Worlds We've Created?

The Inverse Turing Test questions if AI-created complexities can be comprehended by human cognition, unlike the original Turing Test focused on AI mimicking humans.
AI worlds are becoming exponentially more complex, permeating medicine, finance, etc, raising concerns that humans may not understand or control this AI-steered reality.
Our perception of reality has always been an illusion assembled by our limited biological senses and brain. AI adds a new layer of constructed reality.
Failing to comprehend AI worlds may confine us to a "sub-reality" governed by forces beyond our understanding, evoking Plato's Cave allegory.
The Inverse Turing Test is a framework to assess if we can meaningfully navigate AI-created landscapes, which may represent an unsettling new layer of illusion, not true reality.
