Consistent with your de facto Trumper methodology, you manipulate the facts of the argument. That is, whereas I agree I am not acting "intelligently" when sleeping, under sedation, or dead, all I asserted, and continue to assert, that based on your knowledge of how AG was *CREATED,* you can, and DO assume he is conscious in his *awake* state. Extrapolating, or asserting that, to some equivalence to AI makes no sense whatsoever. As usual, you have a pov to be asserted and defended, even if it makes no logical sense. How is this methodology different from what Trumpers habitually do? AG
