What's the difference between me, and a robot that behaves exactly like me given the same input?

Try not to give me any existential dread. I'm almost out of my anxiety meds.

Are you worried about getting eaten by p-zombies?

I'm worried I am a p-zombie

The real problem is not in establishing whether you yourself are a p-zombie, but whether everyone else is.

Are you afraid that if you answer me, it'll set a precedent that you do all your cognitive sciencin' for free? Because I can't pay you...

Well, the p-zombie argument generally assumes that you can nail down the fact that you are conscious because you have first-hand experience. (Cogito ergo sum and all that, though you can even doubt that if you want to be a radical skeptic about it.) A zombie would not be self-aware, but would only act like it. The problem then is extrapolating that to other people and/or zombies.

In the sequel, they fight an army of Blockheads.
