Too much time on my hands...
What I actually have is a different way of dealing with solipsism. Instead of assuming our objective reality is "real", I don't even bother trying to define what "real" means. It's real to me, and that's as real as anything can ever be. So it doesn't matter how real it actually is, or whether that's even a sensible question. My experience is what it is.
Please don't anyone take this for an argument that "things aren't real". I'm not saying that at all. I'm simply examining what it even means to be "real".
EP: Not if the AI is part of a dream, as I covered above
