Hmm.… I’d say that simulations and representations aren’t the same thing. A representation only presents the appearance of something in some way, whereas a simulation tries to present the appearance of something for the same types of causal reasons the real thing has. So no, I wouldn’t say that a video of mars is a simulation of mars.
I mean “Martian” movie. It is simulation of Mars, not actual video. Anyway my point is more like analogy, than straightforward argument.
The key idea is that we should be sceptical to both possibilities: that we are real and that we are in simulation.
