PHIL 237 Lecture 32: PHIL237 April 8th (conference)
Document Summary
The ability to think, understand, analyze, reason, solve problems, and reflect. The capability to have feelings and emotions, both introspective and in response to others. The faculty to distinguish right from wrong, to reason about what right or wrong means, and, more than this, to take responsibility for the choices made whose rightness and wrongness must be weighed. To be intelligent is to be operationally disposed in the right way. One of the rooms is a computer with a human running it. The second room is a software machine running a computer. In the third room there is an interpreter. If the interpreter cannot distinguish between the two, their performance capacities are indistinguishable. If we judge one, namely, the human to be intelligent, then we must also judge the machine to be intelligent. This test is lacking in terms of cashing out the notion of intelligence.
