Week Eight - Reflection on Learning

I thought aspects of this week's topic, Digital Automata, were quite amusing! I absolutely loved the cybertwin and the random responses that it gave me. For example, I typed in the 'winking' emoticon and the cybertwin's response was: "Do you have a pin in your eye?"

I found the Turing Test to be an interesting experiment, as well as the Chinese Room objection. I can see both sides of the argument, although I'd like to think that computers will eventually develop human-like thinking - even if it does gather its information from a variety of sources first. That's how humans learn also!
