artificial intellegence. can machines think

“Can machines think?” Alan Turing had arguments on whether the machines that man has built can think. He uses an example of the mimic game, where an interrogator is to distinguish who is a man and who is a computer. Computers are programmed to do what we want them to do. They understand the words that are coming from us, but it sometimes does what you want, but what you didn’t want at the same time. For example, if I wanted to draw and elephant and I want the computer to do the work I would give it instructions to do so. Let’s say, I tell it to draw a circle for the body. Instead, the computer draws a tiny circle instead of the size I originally wanted. But it is in fact a circle. Therefore one questions if computers do think on their own if not in a different way in which they are programmed.

One distinctive characteristic of the “artificial intelligence” is that it cannot make mistakes. Humans programmed it to do work in a sufficient manner for algorithms and calculation for us. So in a sense to my first point, it’s not wrong in doing to what you are saying, it’s just your fault for not describing it correctly. However, for this reason it is considered errors, errors of functioning and errors of conclusion. However humans wants to feel superior and always in control.But one thing that became interesting was that he stated what if vice versa a computer can become a man, or even better a child for it can have the ability to develop in knowledge. And it will progressively learn and when it does something right, it will have more possibly cause repetition and if it is wrong, it will adjust. And what if, it can develop speech and had eyes and legs to walk? For now it is unimportant, but if so, the world of the “Terminator” can one day be true. Maybe one day we can have one to act as guides for us, such as finding Alenda’s room in Moffit.
