    I don’t think there is a satisfying explanation in the movie, it wasn’t really the point of the film to give one either.

    But i think there is one that’s would have been a good fit.

    The world getting empty of resources and our planet’s condition worsening, we could have made the simulation for ourselves.

    Our brain could be fueled by a renewable enough energy and creating all the comfort of modern society inside of the simulation.

    That would have been a better plot for the following films too, trying to understand what was Asimov type of rules we put into the AI and how to hack it.

      Honestly, I hope the franchise gets picked up for a remake in 20 years, maybe they can do a better job, bringing in all these sorts of ideas, especially if there’s a strong fanfiction base (I’m sure there is).
