I've seen many "aliens," or other world beings... and this passage is the most accurate of what you have quoted...
"Then all of a sudden, what do you see? You see a bunch of creatures that are very old, very powerful, that are more synthetic. That are AI."
... there are many types of beings, some big some small, and not all of them AI. Some are singular and large, and others are small and live in an overlapping multitude in avenues of what appears as light fibers.
The physical world is an experience we are having rather than an actual physical world, though it is very convincing. We are also immersed in a world of deception. Do you know what I mean by "deception"? A deception is where someone or something is trying to fool you and trying to hide the truth of something. The main feature of a deceiver is someone who directly or indirectly lies to you. You have been born into a world of lies, and the lies have come from every source around you, especially from the "trusted" sources such as family as well as church and state. We are like the livestock on a farm, or perhaps best called a crop-circle.
