This is a real headline:
"John Brockman's Book on Thinking Machines: What Should We Keep From Artificial Intelligence?"
I have no doubt the author did not intend this to be funny. The threat from AI has been raised by leading intellectuals.
THERE IS NO SUCH THREAT. You can only program words. And that is not the whole game.
To really understand thinking, you must grasp what is a non-verbal distance from cerebration.
So kick back jack. put your boots on the table and open a beer. Not to relieve the scary thought of a robot takeover. But to try and forget the tension a 'real attention' requires to sustain the gap we mentioned, the distance between words and a something adjacent. The gap which can nurture if sustained. And if not sustained, is still responsible for all the literary masterpieces, and scientific advances on the planet.
