Increasingly, AI video models are marketed as "world simulators," suggesting their ability to model infinite realities. Despite such claims, these models systematically exclude significant aspects of embodied human experience, particularly sexuality. World Simulator is a video installation exploring the poetic friction between these universal claims and the models' inherent blindness. To do so, the work feeds explicit gay erotica into an AI video-to-video pipeline. Lacking the training data to recognize these images, the system hallucinates surreal alternatives, transforming intimate acts into banal scenes of kitchen appliances, strange architectures, and abstract flesh. By visualizing the limits of synthetic knowledge, the work challenges the hubris of the "world simulator" label, asking how a system, trained primarily on large filtered video datasets, can claim to simulate the world while remaining structurally blind to the body. Beyond this critique, we question the value of simulation itself, asking what forms of sensual representation might offer more expansive, life-affirming possibilities.
