For example a machine does not know how to respond to certain situations that it has not be programed to do but instead sometimes find an errors. However, these machines can be made to perform all wide range of tasks, although it requires some changes to its database. In fact, Philosopher John Searle, did an experiment to refute the strong AI thesis, which is the claim that an appropriate programed computer is really a mind and can have cognitive functions such as beliefs, understanding and feelings. The experiment involve understanding the Chinese language with formally rule rather than just with symbols which results showed that “computer program is nothing like the human mind because its states are different from our cognitive states.”(Lawhead 106) What Seale is trying to say is that computers lack intentionality which means they are unable to form representations of objects and associate those to different meanings rather than the ones that are programed into them by humans.
