Alan Turing:
Of course machines can't think as people do. A machine is different from a person. Hence, they think differently. The interesting question is, just because something, uh... thinks differently from you, does that mean it's not thinking? Well, we allow for humans to have such divergences from one another. You like strawberries, I hate ice-skating, you cry at sad films, I am allergic to pollen. What is the point of... different tastes, different... preferences, if not, to say that our brains work differently, that we think differently? And if we can say that about one another, then why can't we say the same thing for brains... built of copper and wire, steel?

Of course machines can't think as people do
00:00:06.999 --> 00:00:09.054
A machine is different from a person
00:00:11.302 --> 00:00:13.304
Hence they think differently
00:00:16.974 --> 00:00:19.352
The interesting question is just because something
00:00:19.777 --> 00:00:21.525
thinks differently from you
00:00:21.645 --> 00:00:24.194
does that mean it's not thinking
00:00:26.317 --> 00:00:30.322
Well we allow for humans to have such divergences from one another
00:00:33.991 --> 00:00:36.244
You like strawberries I hate ice skating
00:00:36.327 --> 00:00:39.126
You cry at sad films
00:00:39.205 --> 00:00:41.378
I am allergic to pollen
00:00:43.167 --> 00:00:46.421
What is the point of different tastes different
00:00:47.588 --> 00:00:50.967
preferences if not to say that our brains work differently
00:00:51.997 --> 00:00:53.269
that we think differently
00:00:55.596 --> 00:00:57.519
And if we can say that about one another
00:00:57.598 --> 00:01:00.647
then why can't we say the same thing for brains
00:01:00.726 --> 00:01:03.525
built of copper and wire steel
