It’s eery, some kids write in asking …”does my computer really think for me?”
What they are really asking is…. whether we intend to extend the notion to include what a machine might do for us.
I read somewhere ….
The need to be very precise has forced us to examine much more carefully the things we do. We are being told ‘you cannot grasp the meaning of something until after you have programmed it into the computer..not so.
Machines have no reasoning power. They don’t get better at things, and they don’t do anything else. In other words machines cannot learn. Theirs is artificial intelligence, they have no parents or role models, so, as opposed to children soaking up their environment from day one, machines cannot, will not ever recognize a face, our brain allows us to feel…behave…convert.
Machines cannot manage thoughts.
Computers have no emotions, they don’t have feelings as we do.
We are clever, funny, anxious, loveable, sometimes dense….all done with the one thing we cannot bestow on the almighty machine….common sense.
