What happens if it were to ask this?

Update:

What happens if one day you were running a computer simulation program or playing with a computer game and the entity in your program were to ask:

"Is this a real world I am living in or is all that I see only a computer simulation?

How will you respond to it?

    I'd look at the replies the game is offering me and pick one.

    Just kidding, this question is kind of nonsense, since a computer, let alone a program, cannot become sentient. I can imagine the situation, but since it's so blatantly impossible to happen I have zero motivation to come up with a meaningful answer.
