The answer is “Yes”. Computer scientists have formulated the wrong question. It isn’t an abstract question of whether a computer can think, it is whether a computer can think better than this dumb blonde.

Think about it. Who wins a chess game between this blonde and an average computer?

Who or what would you rather deal with when you call customer service – this blonde or a well designed automated system?

Would you rather have the blonde in air traffic control or a computer?

Would you rather have the blonde or an intelligent robot on the assembly line building your new car?

Der!
