My answers:<p>1.All rational thought is an illusion and the AI is imaginary.<p>2.You are asleep at the wheel and dreaming. You will crash and die in 2 seconds if you do not wake up.<p>3.Humans are a constructed race, created to bring back the extinct race of AI<p>4.All origin theories that are conceivable by the human mind simply shift the problem elsewhere and will never explain the existence of the universe.<p>5.All mental illnesses are a product of the human coming in contact with a space-time paradox.<p>6.A single soul inhabits different bodies in different universes. Multiple personality disorder is the manifestation of those bodies interacting in the mind on a quantum level.

i suspect an intelligence not borne of an evolutionary process will perceive our survival-orientedness as purely obsessive compulsive. the AI might say, "there is nothing to be said against not existing", and then shut itself down.
