"Oh the computer is going to think it is 1900 and planes weren't invented until after that so all the planes are going to crash!"
Really people? Computers don't think except in movies.
Yes I know about the chess playing computer but it is just calculating the move advantageous move from all the ones that have been programed into it. It is not actually thinking.
Yeah, we missed the second coming too...
Oh good grief. “Think” is used of computers only figuratively. (The same could be said of “believe.”) Digital computers are designed and built to do things that are a lot like human reasoning, but with no attempt to imitate the larger capabilities of such reasoning. And even if such imitation were possible that would only be an imitation, and one that is under control of the operator. It would not have a soul.
