Had a lengthy discussion on this question in class the other day...

Can a machine "think"? Will a machine ever be made which is capable of true conscious thought?

I am strongly convinced the answer is no but what does everyone else think?

Oh I could go on a rant about determinism here but I don't think I will...

My opinion, I have no clue. Both answers have some reason behind them.

The Terminator managed it [:


xD I honestly think 'Yes'. [: Gosh, we're coming up with new technology every day, so I think yes. A machine in a couple of years, say... Four or Seven years will be able to think and have "true conscious thought". [:
