Can Computer Think

Can Computer Think

Most people think computers will never be able to think.   That is, really 
think. Not now or ever. To be sure, most people also agree that computers 
can do many things that a person would have to be thinking to do.   Then 
how could a machine seem to think but not actually think?  Well, setting 
aside the question of what thinking actually is, I think that most of us 
would answer that by saying that in these cases, what the computer is 
doing is merely a superficial imitation of human intelligence. It has been 
designed to obey certain simple commands, and then it has been provided 
with programs composed of those commands.  Because of this, the 
computer has to obey those commands, but without any idea of what's 
happening.

Indeed, when computers first appeared, most of their designers intended 
them for nothing only to do huge, mindless computations.  That's why the 
things were called "computers".   Yet even then, a few pioneers -- 
especially Alan Turing -- envisioned what's now called "Artificial 
Intelligence" - or "AI".  They saw that computers might possibly go 
beyond arithmetic, and maybe imitate the
