Most philosophers don’t think the simulation argument is a particularly good one. It’s more of a Twitter meme, not a serious metaphysical theory.
Furthermore, the problems posed by the simulation argument are not significantly different than similar things in the past, e.g. Descartes’ demon.
I think Baudrillard’s work is a far more fruitful approach to this topic, as it addresses the media/entertainment nature of our “simulated” reality.
