Redefine? Lets go to our good ol buddy the dictionary:What is a deity then? Whatever you redefine the term to be?
If so, why use the word deity?
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/deity
Basically all powerful being or beings.
We according to them in the simulation we would be their creator, we would be all powerful and also would be able to intervene the universe at will.
Which basically would put us in diety status.
If its a creation it might be a bit of a reach to call us a deity to them but if we did create them and have enough technology to be considered all powerful to them then arguably we would be deitys in that scenario as well.
For all we know this god person could be a species that evolved like us but farther to the point where they can affect the universe on a mass scale.
