Do you believe this problem is solvable?
If so what solution would you propose?

The robot problem is somewhat solvable as even one made from the lightest metal would still weigh several hundred pounds, then there is seeing if they can withstand paradoxes, my favorite is "This statement is a Lie."

But the truth of the matter is that your can never be sure anyone is real, or anything for that matter, how do you know you are reading this? How do you know that we do not live in a Matrix world? You do not, but what must be understood is that the world around you as you perceive it is real to you, and your subconscious as long as you want it to be, however it does not mean that the world is false on any level just because we do not think it to be true. What might be fake to you could be real to another, there is a chance none of us exist and that we are simply small fragments of the psyche of a real being. In the end it does not really matter, the only statement of life you can rely on is, "I think therefore I am", or are you?
