The idea that others don't exist is still one I have trouble with even as an idea. You might not be who I think you are, but it's hard to imagine that you and everyone else doesn't really exist. That you're not perceiving anything or experiencing anything. It's not far removed from imagining that I really don't exist, and how can *I* imagine my own non-existence?
Ok backtrack. Look at the prompt again.
An artificial intelligence can provide knowledge and doesn't exist. It exists as a machine. But it's not self aware in ways society considers self awareness.
We, as humans, all exist.
Some things exist outside that classification.
What do we do with knowledge received from things that don't exist? Things that are illogical and things we barely comprehend, do we just pretend those things don't exist and their knowledge is void of any validity?
Humans exist, let's set that premise. Otherwise it all turns to sht.
