Could you link to a paper or working POC that shows how this “turtles all the way down“ solution works?

I don't understand your question.

This isn't turtles all the way down, it's grounded in real world data, and increasingly large varieties of it.

How does the AI know it’s reality and not a fake image or text fed to the system?

I refer you to Wachowski & Wachowski (1999)*, building on previous work including Descartes and A. J. Ayer.

To whit: humans can't either, so that's an unreasonable question.

More formally, the tripartite definition of knowledge is flawed, and everything you think you know has a Munchausen trilemma.

Does the AI need to know or the curator of the dataset? If the curator took a camera and walked outside (or let a drone wander around for a while), do you believe this problem would still arise?
