Mind and Body: Computationalism.
In category General on 07 Nov 2005 @ 02:31 pm
Explain and evaluate Searle’s "Chinese Room" thought experiment against artificial intelligence. Does Searle's argument provide a decisive objection to computational theories of cognition? Does Searle's argument show that brains are not computers? Does the argument show that computers cannot think?
That has to magically be transformed into a 2000 word essay in 48 hours. Keep an eye out for the mini-series 48 coming soon...
Searle: Computers r dum!
Searle again: no they’re not
Searle: ure wrong.
The end
