AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether computers can replicate human intelligence and emotions. Participants express skepticism about computers' ability to think or feel, attributing any perceived intelligence to the programmers. While some argue that computers can evolve through learning algorithms, others maintain that they lack true emotions and motivations, functioning instead as complex tools. The concept of free will in machines is debated, with opinions varying on whether programmed responses equate to genuine emotional experiences. Overall, the consensus leans towards the idea that current technology does not enable computers to possess human-like intelligence or emotional depth.

Well to me this just means we can't replicate a system perfectly by just viewing it. If however as in an earlier post we had the original pendulum, which is a system. The someone must have known the 'absolute truth' about it since they had made it and it was the first of its kind so it is the basis for all replicas.

I don't know if I'm articulating my point properly hopefully someone understands lol.

One pendulum is simple, but a brain is more like 15 billion pendulums that all affect each other. The likelihood of deriving all truths about how they affect each other from observation is low. I think that's what Negatron meant.
