How do you know other humans aren't just advanced chatbots? It's easy to think that something is not conscious just because it seems less complex, but there really is no way to know. As Decartes put it 'cogito ergo sum', or 'I think therfore I am'. And that is the only thing you can truly know, that YOU can think. Not that anyone or anything else can.
