Artificial Intelligence Will Never Rival the Deep Complexity of the Human Mind

The field of artificial intelligence has been a boom market almost from its beginning 60 years ago with the brilliant but doomed British mathematician Alan Turing. One branch of AI believes that a computer will one day duplicate how the human brain works, once the technical difficulties are worked out. Turing was more clever than that. He only asked that a computer's responses convince a thinking mind. The famous Turing test was the cyber equivalent of, "If it quacks like a duck, it is a duck."
