e person can memorize all the rules, and visualize their execution. b.) This reply simply demonstrates that there are two types of machines that can pass the Turing test, one that understands and one that merely processes. c.) If the systems reply is correct, then anything that has input that goes through a program to supply output is cognitive. Take the eye for instance, it receives photons, processes them, and produces early vision. We wouldn't apply cognitive processes to it.(2) The Robot Reply: Take a computer, and give it eyes, ears, legs, and arms, essentially all the perceptual apparatus of a human. This robot would then have understanding and mental states.Response: a.) This reply in of itself concedes that cognition is not merely a formal symbol manipulation. b.) The robot has no intentional states, it is simply operating as to the apparatus with which it has been given.(3) The Brain Simulator: Create a system of neurons that fires exactly like the human brain. If this system does not understand, then neither does the Chinese speaking native.Response: This system only simulates formal structure, it fails to encompass what matters, most importantly causal properties and intentional states. (4) The Combination Reply: Create a robot using notions of replies one through three, with a brain shaped computer and all the necessary synapses, all the perceptual abilities of a human. This would be a unified system which can be described as intentional.Response: Labeling this robot with intentionality in no way refers to the actual programs of the computer which AI states is sufficient condition of intentionality. Plus, we know how the robot is coming to its conclusions, therefore it cannot have intentionality.The comparison of the mind to the brain is as the program to the hardware is what Searle feels falls short of reality. Computers can be given the ability to realize certain functions, but what it lacks is intention...
