It's like the creationist argument but inverse. If a thing has sufficient complexity it must be made. Hence we must be made, hence there is a god.
Like how there's flaws to the above argument there's flaws to the simulation argument.
I can create simulations of my universe and my simulations can create simulations of their universe and this can continue on an infinite chain therefore I am in a simulation by probability.
Where is the flaw? Let me apply the same argument to 3d printers. 3d printers can print clones and in turn the clones can also print 3d printers then by probability it is very likely that 3d printers are made by other 3d printers.
Well that's not the case in reality. 3d printers come from all kinds of sources and right now, most of the time it comes from a factory.
Why is this the case? Because the 3d printers ability to make other 3d printers does not effect the probability of it's own origins. Just like how the universes ability to create simulations of itself does not affect that it itself is a simulation.
