I don't. But by not existing I must exist- in the Least existential manner, by speaking to you I prove that I, in fact exist. By conceptualizing whether or not I exist, I have proven through the dislocation of self that at least in a conceptual way, I do indeed exist. Unfortunately, my friend, having read this post has further verified my existence. Because had I not existed this very post would not have been made, nor would you have read it. In a basic manner, I exist because I choose to, and am verified in my existence by your existence.

Unless you're a hallucination, only responding to me as my brain projects the responses and thoughts.
-
Over an external source? Hallucination would only affect you, not the outside world. So either you are grasping for insanity, or are in denial. Further evidence is that I exist outside of your computational power. I think and process and type things that are entirely impossible for you to predict, whereas hallucinations are YOUR mind expressing divergent thoughts in an understandable manner- like dreams you would be able to predict what happens next. You in essence would be in control.
-
Except we do not fully understand dreams. We can not fully control them. We hardly understand all the workings of the human brain. To say we could control hallucinations and dreams as easy as controlling what you say when wide awake is quite a claim. I don't know about you, but most my dreams are out of my control. So, to say that your working in an unpredictable manner is proof of your existence is false. I can not determine what I dream about at all when I enter sleep.
-
You misinterpret- any given hallucination or dream is merely based upon either personal or emotional experience. You have had no personal nor emotional experience with me. The mind is certainly unknowable, in that I agree- but I also know that it can only run so many variables at once. So to have any conversation that doesn't repeat itself, would require two people, thus I exist. If I were not to exist your theory In and of itself would be invalid because in the asking if me to prove I exist you have admitted in and of yourself, at least in small part that I do exist.

Except, the human brain only uses what? 20% of the brain? If the brain were to reach a percentage of use, it may be able to more proficiently run variables and scenarios, while keeping repetition at a minimal. Further more, a conversation can consist of any word that the brain retains, so conversation could be projected by the brain using either the millions of words known to man, or through a past memory. Another point, the brain creates. This could all be like a video game, and everything said and done is simply another part of the "game". Everyone around the real intelligence are the AI, while the environment is simply created as easy as GTA's San Andreas was.

False- your brain uses 100% percent of its computational power every day. You can only use "20%" of the total volume of your brain- not out of the total thinking power. The rest is already taken by your body, in its every day quest for survival.

And honestly, you have had the opportunity to check my player profile this whole time. If I didn't exist then I'm obviously not addicted to destiny, and haven't logged about a bajillion hours at the risk of my social life.
