<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Petee, post: 1376059, member: 36123&quot;]Well, I did say &quot;is supposed to emulate&quot; not &quot;a neural net that thinks like a human&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. But I think the people experimenting with artificial intelligence try to emulate thinking currently by programming a computer that can learn, or at least that what it seems like when I&#039;ve seen shows about the primitive current artificial experiments. As far as the broader subject, whether or not a computer that simulates the learning process actually thinks or not, and at what point it might be considered a &quot;thinking machine&quot;, thats been a subject for debate for quite some time, starting back around Allen Turing, I think. </p><p><br /></p><p>--------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>Modern computers are kind of like idiot savants in some ways, there are things they can do that are amazing, and amazingly simple things they can&#039;t do. They can land a plane, but they cant drive a car (yeah, I&#039;m aware of the experiments with the computers driving--they cant, at least when last I looked). They can shoot anything that comes into their range if set up like a sentry, but they cant catch a baseball. They definitely cant do things like judge artwork, critique a movie, or grade a term or creative writing paper---but they can point out grammatical errors in one in a quarter of a second. I&#039;m not an expert in coins or AI, but it seems to me that judging coins falls more along the lines of the things they cant do now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
