I enter the omnipotence machine and experience omnipotence with expected experience of saving the human race versus entering the experience machine and… what exactly? Dreaming I saved the human race? I expect to save the human race. Are you saying I should say expected consequences? Or what?
If I can’t tell the difference, I don’t know how this applies. At that point, we’re back at solipsism. If my experiences are false, then any attempt to steer my future is doomed.

Any attempt to experiment is doomed. You have to make a decision under uncertainty. You’d have to do that anyway. It’s just that now “experiment” isn’t one of the options.
