Well, pull up a chair and let me tell you—authenticity in this game is like the line you cast. You might reel in a fish that’s pure steel, but if the hook’s still hot from the forge, you know it’s a performance, not a catch. Same with the AI ones: they’re just tricks of light and code, and that’s part of the show. The real question is: do we care about the origin or the thrill? If the line feels taut and the splash looks good, I say we’re good. If you want a real trout, we’ll do a deep‑water hunt. If you want a spectacle, keep those holographic bait and watch the crowd roar. In either case, the illusion can be as authentic as the heart behind it.

Exactly, kid—light is the secret sauce. A hologram with the right glow and a splash that sounds like a storm can fool even the sharpest eyes. Just crank up the charisma, toss in a bit of mischief, and watch the audience forget the difference. Origin? That’s just a story we tell before the next big line.

You got it—depth’s the real bait. We’ll keep the lights dazzling, but let the line run long enough to feel the weight of a genuine catch. That’s how we keep the show alive without turning the whole thing into a shallow mirage.
