Will computers ever be able to think like humans?

Why would you want a computer that thinks like humans? Human minds are pretty lousy, irrational and subject to bizarre biological vectors.

Not thinking like humans is a GOOD thing.

Absolutely correct!

Program a computer to think like a human and it will probably become irrational.

It would probably auto-type messaged on the DU website!

At that point, wise humans would pull the plug.
