A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Would I know if I was a chatbot? Would any of us?
Assuming you don't accept the simulation hypothesis, you can know if you aren't a chatbot, but to the best of our current knowledge, our chatbots aren't aware and can't know anything.
Cogito ergo sum.
Of course, given what we know about neurobiology today, It's probably more accurate to say I think that I think, therefore I think that I am.
