Is it self-aware?

Are you? How do you prove that to, say, a solipsist?

I had a discussion about self-awareness with an old girlfriend in college. After a long while I suggested that she was confusing "selfishness" with "self-awareness."

I don't think we ever spoke again after that conversation.

As Grumpy Cat would say, "Good.";-)

Self awareness: I think therefore I believe. (apologies to Descartes)

So - “I think, therefore I am.” is really no longer proof of intelligent existence!?!

Its getting harder and harder to disprove AI doesn’t exist, in some cases.

SCARY STUFF!!!
