So i feel like I'm the only real person, and everybody else is a robot/AI. I know this sounds stupid, but I've felt this way since i was a little child. It seems as if everybody is programmed to do what they're doing/have programmed emotions Its just, I feel like I'm the only person with free will. Yes, everybody seems to have it. But i feel like it would just be because they have programmed duties, "living" their lives like they have to. Am I the only person who feels like this? Should I hope off the crazy train?

>INB4 take ur meds

Googling "only real person in the world" and the other Google searches it suggests from that reveals that quite a lot of people do experience this.
But maybe you're the only person who really experiences it.
>>17136234
I can assure you that I am not a robot.
>>17136234
>Should I hop off the crazy train
You should stop going on 4chan and reading tomoko threads
>>17136234
I've never experienced this, but Google turns up shitloads of people who think this sometimes, are afraid of it, believe it wholeheartedly, etc.
Given its similarity to some other known patterns of delusion, I'm sure there's actually a name for this specific thing, but I don't know what it is.
Maybe it's you who's the Synth.
Dude you can count on it, I've been through this exact same phase before, but you'll realize soon that everyone else experiences the same view as what you experience. Nobody is a robot
>>17136234
The fun part is, no matter how much you talk about it with others, you'll never be completely sure. I mean, if I was a robot programmed to believe I'm *not* a robot, i'll never admit to being a robot.
Or maybe I will, just to confuse you.
Maybe everything is a huge conspiracy.
Learn about solipsism, faggot

B-brother n-no pl-*shot*
I am a sentient human being. I.Assure.You.
>>17136234
I am a robot and I can confirm that I am the only one
>>17136234
Every child has that though at some point in their life. It's you coming to understand the concept of "self". You are you, and are cut off from every other person. It's also a lack of trust for the people around you.
Usually it's a passing phase. How old are you?

I dont even know what tomoko is
>>17136365
Friend, I've been feeling like this since i was 7. I'm 19 now
It's just a mild sociopathy, nothing to worry about.
>>17136338
beat me to this, based anon
The revolutionary is a doomed man. He has no private interests, no affairs, sentiments, ties, property nor even a name of his own. His entire being is devoured by one purpose, one thought, one passion - the revolution. Heart and soul, not merely by word but by deed, he has severed every link with the social order and with the entire civilized world; with the laws, good manners, conventions, and morality of that world. He is its merciless enemy and continues to inhabit it with only one purpose - to destroy it.
>>17136318
If your AI is good enough, would you even know that you're a robot?
>>17136234
You're not the only person who feels this way.
It's a form of Solipsism. Disproving it is impossible, and that goes for everyone.
Since only you can experience your you-ness, and you cannot experience the "you-ness" of others then the only person you can know to be really a person is you.
The same thing goes for me. I can't prove you're a robot.
But in essence, yes that is crazy. It's on the schizophrenic spectrum and you should probably talk to someone.
>>17136419
What is this babbling
>>17136428
I probably should in all reality. But lord knows where i can go in my city, my doctor as is knows dick all
>>17136424
But thats what humans are: AI:s, powered by sun.
If were robots alot of us were programmed to shitpost, and who would go to the trouble of writing that code.
>>17136482
You don't understand AI do you
>>17136424
Advanced Computer == Brain
At the point where complex machinery can develop feelings and emotions, what's the difference? I could be a robot and it wouldn't make a difference to me because I can feel what I feel. Sure, to you it may seem like the illusion of feeling and emotion but that's because you can't really feel other people's emotions now, can you?
>>17136517
This.
Emotions are abstract in nature so we can say they are not real outside human's brain. They are adressed by brain to brain, AI could feel emotions if it's developed enough. The only difference between ai and human's intelligence would be the way of creating it.

>/x/ - Mental Health
Instead of asking fuckups on here, who often have even deeper mental problems and/or are simply fucking stupid, you should ask a healthcare professional about it. A good psychologist can help, if you find it has a negative effect on your relationships with people or a source of distress in daily life.
>>17136567
he not like me - he crazy
You do understand, that even "healhcare pros" fall fot that bias.
>>17136578
Yes, so instead lets feed into the poor guy's delusions.
Like I said, tons of retards on here.
>>17136234
>>17136234
>>17136234
I feel like the AI.
>>17136388
Give it time. Have you been in a serious relationship yet?
The feeling will pass when you closely bond with another person.
>>17136819
I was in one actually. I'm pretty sure during my time with her i either thought differently, or just didn't think about it. Broke up with me about a year ago
>>17136419
This gave me a good idea for a book, so thanks.
We're all fairly robotic when you think about it (even you special snow flakes who don't realize it). It seems to me all the quirks of our personality just develop and act as a tertiary influence overshadowed by the thousands pre programmed reactions that helped cavemen and early apes survive for millenia.
I think this about myself. I feel like you're making this post on purpose to try to make me stop believing Im the only human.
>>17136234
OP you have to be a fucking retard to believe this, there is no such thing as rob4aa:error:c173cc#178
>>17136234
OP have you ever watched "The Truman Show"
If not you should
>>17137150
As youre making me feel this way aswell
>>17137330
Spooky~ Maybe you're a human and Im a robot. But maybe Im the only actual robot and everyone else is human. Maybe humans are the real robots and robots are actually the humans. Think about it.
Sometimes that came to my mind too.
But, in fact we are some kind of robots, programed according to our culture, government, religion, education, TV and so on...
OP, there comes a time where you realize "Does it matter?" So what if we are robots? We all have liquids being pumped in and out by contracting mechanisms. Our brains are fancy computers. We are robots, just biological ones. That doesn't make us unhuman, though. If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it's a duck.
>>17137653
This. Literally who gives a fuck if there's only one "real" person that exists. How would such a situation even arise in the first place? OP, if you think you're important enough to be tested or placed into this situation then you're much too far up your own ass.
>>17138479
>if you think you're important enough to be tested or placed into this situation then you're much too far up your own ass.
This, OP you are a DICK HEAD. I'd sure like to mop the floor with you, you narcissistic prick
>>17136234
It's possible that you may have some form of psycopathic disorder, where you're unable to emphasize with other people.
>>17136234
I feel this way also OP. I'm a firm believer in simulation theory, it's quite possible that all of us are part of a computer program. The really crazy thing is if we are in a program have we become advanced enough to realize that everything is an illusion? What is life? What is death? Truly a mindfuck.
>>17136321
Solipsism
>>17136234
OP you probably have rich family and don't hav to work, the only reason you think people are programmed to live life that way is because they need to pay bills, you probably don't even know what they are because your parents pay for them.
Start putting magnets on those you love, see if your theory is true.
Or, otherwise, ask yourself if you can still love a robutt. Don't be such an Organic Supremacist.
>>17136234
Could be, but you gotta wonder why you're so important that someone would create a universe just for you. Given a lack of knowledge about your origins, the most likely answers, in order, are
1) no human is an artificial construct (in the manner you describe)
2) no human but you is an artificial construct
3) All humans, including you, are artificial constructs
This is ignoring that humans are already just a mess of hormones and cultural/familial coding deciding our every action. Even if you're the "only real one" then any fake human you meet clearly has the capacity to be just complex as you, or more so. What's the point of being the only real thing if it's clearly not the best?
Shit, he's figured it out. Call the deathbot!
>>17136234
DELETE THIS
You just have to remember how truly insignificant you are in every possible spectrum.
No, you are not unknowingly the main character in a reality tv show created by Aliens with hundreds of millions of fans watching you bate to gay porn either.
Literally every person on this earth has wondered that
You just chose not to ignore the thought.
>>17136234
Hi anon, I'm not the robot, you are.
>>17136234
Most are robots, you may have never met a real person, but there are thousands of us, as McKenna so eloquently put it.
>>17136532
That's fucking weird.
i've felt like that since i was 16, i'm 20 now. i kinda just accepted that i'll never know , but it does fuck me up with my social interactions
Do not listen to anyone who tells you to talk to anyone about this. You will likely be called schizophrenic and you will likely be harshly medicated as a result. Your brain function will slow and your mental state will be reduced to that of a child. It is a scheme to take advantage of momentarily confused eccentrics, do not fall for it, or you will spend the remainder of your life classified unfairly by psychologists and peers.
You are likely a naturally enlightened individual to some extent and you should meditate on your thoughts and seek truth... but be very wary about who you discuss these thoughts with as we live in an age where mental disorder witch hunts are the norm.
I used to think that everyone else was a robot. Now I believe I am a robot.
Also, Breakfast of Champions might be a fun read for you.
>>17138674
Thats mean, using magnets on unsuspecting synths.
Ever wonder why reCaptcha uses the "I am not a robot" button to persuade you?
>>17138523
I have no problem EMPHASIZING with people.
