This raises all sorts of existential questions...
think I am human, but if I'm a sufficiently advanced form of
artificial intelligence, I would think I'm a person.
I do not seem to reside on a computer hard drive somewhere, I think
I'm sitting at a keyboard in a room with three dogs lying at my feet,
but sufficiently advanced artificial intelligence would provide this
scenerio so that I myself would believe that this is reality.
Because if I were a computer virus sent to destroy the Galactic Senate
and everything it holds dear, I would be the most effective if I truly
believed I was just some schmoe who wants to come into the list, post
something, have a few larfs, and obey all the Rules of the Senate.
Master Magnus, from your title I assume you to be an adept at
something or other, perhaps you could use your Jedi mind tricks to
probe my situation...
