People have been questioning whether what we experience is actually real for thousands of years. The simulation hypothesis just gives it the trappings of technology because people like technology. It's not really a particularly interesting or relevant question, I don't see how you'd go about proving or testing it, and I don't see what difference the answer makes. I suppose it could take the place of religious belief for people who consider themselves to be too smart for religion.
