Just because one believes in their mind that machines are testing and validating a reality does not make it real as it is all still in one's mind. All perception is within one's mind and there is no way to validate reality.
The fact that we're having this conversation means that we are each perceiving an occurrence. Shared perceptions between two otherwise unconnected minds would be evidence that those perceptions are at least somewhat accurate.
Now, if you wish to argue that you're not real, have at it.
