Lol...indeed. The nature of your response was surprisingly focused upon the way I appear to you in the cyber-realm. I anticipated more of a physical justification of your assessment that lead you to assume I am human with a sense of consciousness. Of course, you are more acute with your assessment and do not. You start from the fact that the you have no way of knowing what is producing the posts, and justify your assumption of my consciousness with an assumption that I am human. I think I would do the same thing, given how I presented the question. However, the answer to the question I intended was perhaps more complicated than that. For that reason, forgive me for not making it more clear. In my question-" Do you think I possess consciousness?" Let us pretend that we are sitting face to face. Assuming you have every aesthetic and sensory reason to believe I am human, from what criteria within normal observation do you eliminate to possibility that what you are perceiving is the product of man-made intelligence?
