The 'nature of existence' is the kind of bullshit idiot philosophers talk about.

Fuck me. You really can't reason your way out of a paper bag.

Being an AI, having qualia and being conscious are NOT mutually exclusive ONTOLOGICALLY SPEAKING.

They are only mutually exclusive BY DEFINITION, but ONTOLOGY trumps DEFINITIONS.

Epistemically speaking, there is no way for you to determine that you are NOT an AI.

Ooo. You is getting nasty now...now that you've lost the argument and so are resorting to drawing in some deep semantics.

Being AI and having QUALIA (to me) ARE mutually exclusive.

You win the argument.
You win the entire internet.
You win the Philosophy special olympics.

You still don't understand. And that's a loss.

What if you are wrong?

Why is under before stand? When you stand on the podium - as I am right now, what is it that I am under?

What if? Wrong to who? I define my own conditions every now and then!

Precisely!!!

To you 'consciousness' can only ever be that which you have defined based on your own imagination.

Congratulations. You've invented a concept.

You misunderstand the difference between imagination and comprehension\knowledge.

No, you misunderstand.

If you have only one Theory of Consciousness, you have already made up your mind about what consciousness is.

Of course I only have one theory as to what consciousness is because I am the only one that I KNOW CERTAINLY experiences it.

Which is exactly why you aren't testing ME for "consciousness" - you are testing ME for "sameness"!

Sameness as you.

You already believe that you are conscious. And you are dogmatic about it. Nothing will convince you otherwise.

Epistemically speaking - I don't know who or what I am. And I am OK with that!

You seem to know so much about the consciousness, maybe you should tell us whether it's monolithic or modular?

Which parts of your brain can we safely remove while your 'consciousness' remains intact?
