No Free Will Humanity  reason or logic or any of the other things that computers can doreasonlogiccomputer Humanity = intuition, sensuality, and emotion.intuition emotion Can machines be creative?

Computers can’t think because they don’t have a consciousness… What is a consciousness? 1. a.the quality or state of being aware especially of something within oneself b.state or fact of being conscious of an external object, state, or factconscious c.

No Emotions Computers can only do what they are programmed to do People do not need reason to justify actions Almost every action involves an emotion –i.e. anxiety  worse performance on a test –Computers always take the test in the same way Emotions cause impulses...how can a computer have an impulse?

No Learning Through Experience Computers do only what they are told to or programmed to do, they have no originality or creative powers. Supported by: –EILZA effect which is reading more into computers their ability then is warranted

John Searle’s Argument: THE CHINESE ROOM THE CHINESE ROOM

Searl’s Main Point: Searle wants his Chinese Room thought experiment to be an intuition pump that leads one to the conclusion that a computer (or a robot with a computer for a brain) running a program simply cannot be said to understand anything (in this case, Chinese).”

Computers Cannot Surpass Man Computers are limited by their creators While they can do some things faster than humans, everything they know or can do is derived from some human input

COMPUTERS CAN’T THINK No free will No consciousness No emotions No creativity No learning through experience Programmed by man therefore…
