It’s an extreme view, and not many professionals endorse it, but it is an interesting thought!

    I don’t know if this holds true… Can one truly be sure the self exists? Can you prove you are not just an AI in a system coded for the illusion of thought/choice?

    “I think, therefore I am” sure… But AI chat bots will also insist they think and ‘are’… But do those ‘selfs’ actually exist? 🤷‍♂️

    This is one of those philosophical ideas that is ultimately irrelevant to me though, as were kinda forced to accept the world around us is “real” in order to function, whether it actually is or not…
    I believe in you 😉
