Hi, BOB KLAHN!

  BK>>> So, my musing analysis leads to this question, when you reach the

Suppose you have two logical tasks. They can be done both by a human or 
a robot. The dividing line that exists between a human and robot lies 
not in the logic. A live being can feel happiness, emotions, love -- in 
short things that cannot be programmed or defined as an algorithm.

So, there is no difference between programming and artificial 
intelligence. And we can also say that human feelings have nothing to do 
with intelligence, and human feelings never will be programmed in 
robots. Because the core of the matter is a human consciousness, that is 
an incorporial thing. More of that, nobody understand it, not speaking 
about reproduction.

Making robots is easy. They can do (repeat) any intelligent tasks. But 
nobody knows how to create consciousness and awareness of self. Or to 
understand what is inspiration....

Bye, BOB!
