Can a Thinking Machine Feel?
Abstract
With reference to the famous «Turing test» - according to which a computer could be programmed in such a way that it’s answers to a series of questions in any specific domain were indistinguishable from human responses, the author wonders whether all kinds of mental activity are amenable to formalization and, therefore, to total mechanization. A possible exception would be the sense of humor or intuition as a whole.
