\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
- The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible
the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the
meaning of the words "machine" and "think" are to be found by
examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the
conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, "Can
machines think?" is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a
Gallup poll.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
- We are the more ready to do so in view of the fact that the present
interest in "thinking machines" has been aroused by a particular
kind of machine, usually called an "electronic computer" or "digital
computer."
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
- If we use the above explanation as a definition we shall be in
danger of circularity of argument.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
- For instance in considering the switches for a lighting system it is
a convenient fiction that each switch must be definitely on or
definitely off.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
- The popular view that scientists proceed inexorably from
well-established fact to well-established fact, never being
influenced by any improved conjecture, is quite mistaken.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
- It is admitted that there are certain things that He cannot do such
as making one equal to two, but should we not believe that He has
freedom to confer a soul on an elephant if He sees fit?
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
- We like to believe that Man is in some subtle way superior to the
rest of creation.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
- The view that machines cannot give rise to surprises is due, I
believe, to a fallacy to which philosophers and mathematicians are
particularly subject.
