Probably in a simulation
There is a thing called "Deepfakes" which involves a face in a video being replaced very realistically with another using neural networks.

Already using the neural networks of our brains, we generate simulations of random scenarios. I think that in the future there could be neural networks that are trained with almost every aspect of reality that can generate simulations and fill in all the details.

In the same way that writers can generate descriptions of realistic conversations and behaviours, a highly trained neural network (or a network of them) could generate characters that we could interact with.

This shows a video zooming in on a scene from a neural network that keeps adding detail based on patterns it has learnt (animals, etc)

The neural network I'm talking about would add detail in a way that mirrors normal reality. It would be able to handle it in 3D. It would be called The Dream MachineTM

Thoughts?

This talks about how graphics card maker Nvidia generating images of people that fool itself - they plan to make it also generate 3-D images.

This one is a bit weird at the top though:
