True but intelligence is based not on the ability to mimic speach, but on the ability to act appropriately in varied situations. For example, if you were to say into the phone "Let me speak with your boss!" Then the machine would not act appropriately, and would most likely not respond in any way. The human would act appropriately, he may not fulfil your request, and he may stutter a bit and read a pre written response, but this is what you would could expect an intelligent person might do (maybe not a greatly intelligent person)

Imho we will be able to reproduce anything that happens in our conscient mind, as we will probably be (if we aren't already) able to analyse that quite detailed. We won't however ever be able to understand our unconscience because it is simply not possible for us to get at that point as it will drive us mad.

ooooooo....good point ciri ;)

Actually many believe that we cannot really reproduce our concious actions without our unconcious thoughts being there. There are many who in fact believe that we cannot properly mimic a brain without actually building a model of it out of pieces that act just exactly like neurons.

People are still looking for better ways, and this certainly does not give much hope for being able to understand what goes on, but they certainly have some good arguments.

Actually in the '90;s they invented an AI that was the intellectual equal to over half of all humans. It was the Furby!!
