David Gelernter wrote the article Dream Logic, the Internet and artificial thought. This article talked about how Gelernter thinks that robots will never think like humans do. In this article he explains that robots cannot think like humans because of various factors. “The solution will probably take the form of software that is trained to imitate the emotional responses of a particular human subject” (Gelernter 207). I don’t think that humans and robots can think like one another. I think that because human’s minds are much more complex. For example a human has emotions that they have to deal with and robots don’t have emotions. They can be programmed to have emotions but that’s it they are only pretending. It’s not a real emotion. They can’t ever really feel happy. They can never know what it’s like to cut their knee as a child. Ray Kurzweil is an optimist that believes that “Intelligence will inherently find a way to influence the world, including creating its own embodiment and physical manipulation” (Kurzweil). He is really optimistic that robots will be like humans and because they are so smart they will actuallu be far more superior than us humans he is sure of it.
