Alan Turing: Computer Machinery and Intelligence

• humans can be "machine-like" too
• when we are simply relaying information or reading from a script, are we actually "thinking"?
• The robot cannot write poetry, why?
• poetry is creative
• it could tell a joke and pull from a database, write an essay and use facts and reason
• human experience can be genetically passed down as well and our relationships can affect how we deal with later experiences and how our children do
• language can be taught with punishment and reward--social synapse
• predicting other's behavior based on past history (experience)
