What can computers do?
[”But of course, a mere machine can’t really think, can it?”], he said: “You insist
that there is something a machine cannot do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine
cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that!” - J. von Neumann in a talk on computers given in Princeton in 1948.
An interesting note from the author of “Probability Theory - The Logic of Science”.
