"The original question, 'Can machines think?' I believe to be too meaningless to deserve discussion."

"The machine can only do what we tell it to do. But what if we tell it to learn?"

"The extent to which we regard thinking as a function of the brain rather than the entire body is very much a matter of taste."

"The question is not whether machines can think, but whether they can do something that we would call thinking."

"The idea of a 'mind' is a human construct, and it may not apply to machines."
