I lost my first perfect response To Turing.. So sad

However the understanding that I got from the article is that A.M. Turing has a belief that one day machines or computers would have the ability to think.
In the article, Alan Turing stands by his belief as he argues his word against the different objections. It could be argued that machines cannot have souls for thinking is a function of man's immortal soul. God has given an immortal soul to every man and woman, but not to any other animal or to machines. Hence no animal or machine can think. Turing disagrees with this statement as he points out that we cannot know if computers could have consciousness, because we cannot really know if other people have consciousness unless we are those people themselves.

One argument that I felt was well expressed by Professor Jefferson is "Not until a machine can write a sonnet or compose a concerto because of thoughts and emotions felt, and not by the chance fall of symbols, could we agree that machine equals brain-that is, not only write it but know that it had written it”. I strongly agree with what the professor states, I mean I do admit to the fact that computers can think but up to an extent, because we programmed them that way, it was the human that made the computer after all.

If we do agree with Turing, I guess we would try to build a computer like a human infant, and then program it to learn.
