Some philosophers, including John Searle, say that computers are not really intelligent. Rather, they just stimulate intelligence. However it could be argued that, just as computers are programmed to respond in different ways to different commands, so human beings are 'programmed' by society, an education to perform certain tasks. For example, we are programmed to do complicated things like speak a language, as well as more somple things like brush our teeth.
What are your thoughts on this compassion? Is there any difference between the programming computers, and the 'programming' of humans by society?
Computers are made by humans, its program is designed by humans, its generator that provides its service is also made by humans. I agree to computers' stimulate intelligence, as we based our processors to what and how we want our computers would run, the speed, the commands, the applications and everything is acquired in its mother board and stilmualted by its own "brain" or what we called processor.
Considering with this argument, i would say that there is not much difference between us, humans and the computers. Indeed we are programmed by society, we educate ourselves, we present ourselves to the knowledge that we accomplished or acknowledge. We study and we learn, by that process we gain more intelligence within ourselves. And same thing as the computers, we program their input and they process it. We can be the same based on experiences and knowledge, but the only difference that i can see it the emotions and feelings that we, humans have. Artificial intelligence can't process emotions, not unless you imply that inout in them.
The movie Bicentennial man, personally i loved that movie. It has a great example of an artificial intelligence acquring an emotions within itself. Since he's with the family over centuries, he actually acquired the feeling of lonely, sadness and the need to find its own self. Another very good example of a movie where computers manipulating humans is the movie, I Robot. The main computer of the company is the one who controls everything and even led her creator to kill himself.
In our generations up to date, we have a lot of things going on, politics, war, inventions, superstars, high-end technologies. Everything is through online, i think humans are the only ones who's capable to manipulate computers to its extent.
