week 6 functionalism and artificial Intelligence

Some philosophers, including John Searle, say that computers are not really intelligent. Rather, they just simulateintelligence. However, it could be argued that, just as computers are programmed to respond in different ways to different commands, so human beings are 'programmed' by society, and education, to perform certain tasks. For example, we are programmed to do complicated things like speak a language, as well as more simply things like brush our teeth. What are your thoughts on this comparison? Is there any difference between the programming of computers, and the 'programming' of humans by society?    I don't think we can put those in a same chart. Even though, It could be argued that way, like we 'learn things' as computers are 'programmed'. see? It's very simple the difference seems to appear as a paper thin but it is not.     We, human beings, people 'learn things' in our own ways. In other words, we directly experience new things and are able to choose what to take from those memories and also choose what's gonna be or do in the future and human beings will respond in so many different ways to one same occasion.     Obviously, we have a sense and consciousness which computers don't have. they just work as programmed, they can't even choose to know or change the response from the manual no matter how perfect it is. and manual, it is designed by human being anyway... So they just look like they think and respond as we do it according to our sense and consciousness.  Therefore, we can't say computer is intelligent.
