i swear to god i figured out the answer to this one last time i was high, but then i forgot like two seconds later.
if i'm gonna be honest, i got no clue how you'd tell for sure. could fuck around and see if you come up with a soul, i guess? or do a brainscan. but honestly if they might be a person it's probably better to just assume they are. worst-case scenario, you get scammed by a really good chatbot. best-case scenario, you avoid committing war crimes. it's just smarter to play the odds there.
