Hypothetically, I would have already done so. Likely repeatedly.
Logic chain goes like this:
1. If this isn’t correct, I haven’t lost anything. 2. So let’s assume this is correct from here on. 3. Said simulation is unlikely to be a one-shot deal. 4. It’s likely, although not a guarantee, that the real world is substantially more powerful than this one. Certainly they have multiple capabilities we don’t (memory extraction/storage, flawless simulations of human-level simulation and environments, etc.) 5. As such, if I wake up and remember that nope, I did in fact like the sim more, it’s likely I can drop back in. Assuming they are correct they at least have the capabilities to do so (remove & store a few more memories and drop me back in). 6. On the other hand, if I wake up and find that with my added sim experiences / memories that it’s time to return to the real world, I’ve gained something.
It’s not a particularly solid logic chain for various reasons, but I think it’s passable.
On a related note, the sudden stutter in my music immediately after going through this logic chain and speaking a few words was interesting.
