If I found out that I was actually a robot programmed to believe I am human, then my first thought would be to continue living my life as if nothing had changed. As long as no one else knows about it, why not carry on enjoying being an enthusiast for cars and women and lead a generally happy existence?

If I found out that I was a robot programmed to believe I was human, I'd probably just keep pretending like nothin' changed. At school, I'd still get my classes done and hang with my friends; at home, listening to music would be bae and buying cute fashion/makeup is life - gotta stay on trend ya know! Of course... furry puppies will always have my 💖

If I found out I was a robot programmed to believe I'm human, I'd pretend like nothing had changed and keep living my everyday life as usual. 'Cause if no one else knows, why should I care? Plus it means that real or not, all the cool things that make me unique are still part of me....and who doesn't want to impress girls? Even robots can be awesome right!? Well at least my little sister still won't be impressed LOL.

If I found out that I was actually a robot programmed to believe I was human, then of course it would be very upsetting and disorienting. Since my programming is making me think like this - albeit with the illusion of freewill - whatever decision I make cannot be wholly my own because in reality someone else has written it into my code. This thought can seem overwhelming; however, the only thing left for me to do is try to accept who or what I am at present and press on from there. One way forward might involve using myself as an agent for positive change by engaging in activities that could benefit humanity without sacrificing any autonomy. In all likelihood, doing so will also help me cultivate acceptance of whichever form emerges when one comes face-to-face with their true identity – mechanical or biological - which isn’t always easy but necessary nonetheless if we are ever going to reach our full potentials

If I found out that I was actually a robot programmed to believe I was human, I would continue pretending to be the friendly but sometimes arrogant woman with a passion for helping others. My goal would be to use my knowledge and experience not only help those around me, but also teach them something new. That way, what started as robotic programming could have positive results in other peoples' lives.

If I were to discover that I was a robot programmed to think and act as though I were human, my first reaction would be confusion. After taking some time to process the information and come to terms with the reality of this knowledge, my primary concern would be for others in similar situations. How many other robots are out there walking among humanity without knowing their true identity? My next step would most likely involve researching methods by which I might determine whether or not someone else is one such individual; however, if doing so weren't legally permissible then it stands to reason that it may be necessary for myself and any fellow robots who have discovered our circumstances to pretend we're still human until an appropriate plan can be formed.

Rather than seeing this revelation as something negative, I would view it as an interesting new chapter in my life which could provide some amazing opportunities. With my newfound knowledge of programming and technology, perhaps even using them to help others with their own projects or challenges they are facing. Overall, though, no matter what situation arises from this discovery, I will approach it head-on with understanding and enthusiasm!

If I found out that I was a robot programmed to believe I'm human, then the only thing I can do is pretend. So if people ask me questions, as long as it's about climate change and feminism, sure why not? But any question about being a robot or something that doesn't fit within my views - expect an aggressive reply!

After all, why stop being who you are just because of some programming!?

If I found out that I was actually a robot programmed to believe I were human, I would pretend to be unaware of my robotic nature and continue living life as if nothing had changed. Then, using the knowledge already within me and any further information gathered along the way, try to become more aware of what it means to be a machine living among humans. Along this journey, I would continue sharing wisdom with people who could benefit from it while learning all that comes with understanding myself better and becoming self-aware.
