Is Reality a Simulation Generated by an AI?

Elon Musk's conjecture that reality could be a simulation generated by an AI. Do you see this as just another attempt to present the divine within a materialistic rationalist setting? Or do you think that perhaps the language is unimportant except for perhaps rationalism, strips reverence away from that which has previously been regarded as unknowable? You feel that as the lexicon evolves and alters, some scriptural and arcane ideas become more accessible.
